In browsing the website a little deeper, they no longer offer a V8 Eclass sedan. The AMG E sedan is a frickin turbo V6.

No AMG E coupe, but they make an E63 wagon. I'd drive that mofo.

Well if im buying a car strictly for its performance period I would buy a GTR over all three you selected.

The LC 500 will probably have the best cabin of all 3. For me im looking at luxury AND perf. Without going north of 100k.

wtf

How can they make a 8 cylinder C class but get rid of the E version? E55s were the shite.

Well that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream.

Yea weird setup as far as the models go. The AMG V6 does have 396 hp, which is a lot, but it sure ain't the 577 that the E63 Wagon has.

I'm building a sweet arse E43 as we speak though.

The E class is new for 2017, no real E63 until later this year as a 2018. the S model will have over 600 HP.

Looks like something that will be very popular with the Asians, which I'm cool with.

471hp but only 4.4sec 0-60??

That's more inline with a 13.0+sec 1/4mi car.

As far as looks, I like it.

It's more of a GT than all out sports car.

Awesome ride...Nearly identical to concept car. Best use of the new spindle grill. People complained when Lexus looked "soft & boring," now they complain cause they're "too edgy"...

I think it looks pretty good, the only thing that bothers me is the way the A Pillar meets the hood, that line looks 'off', but it may look better in person. Overall they've done a good job trickling down things they learned from the LFA.

I know Lexus' "design inspiration" is supposed to come from a samurai sword, and I think they've achieved that for the most part.

If you make the mistake a third time, I'll happily buy it off you.
