Talking If Consumer Reports sees this vid they will ask to ban the 2010 E63

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgVXb2yYDmY


Please if you are scared of cars or you work for consumer reports do not click that link as it might give you a seizure. Please also prayer for the driver as the car is clearly out of control yet in control.

What are they thinking? Over 500hp in a sedan and then driving it in the wet with the electronics off!!

CALL CONGRESS!!!

(wonderful vid of the E63 drifting in the wet)

E55 and E63 are the best line of MBZ in my opinion.

Until you need to fix something. ?Though mine has been polar opposite of it's rep. Incredible torque. Love the new E63 with exception to the rear end, the new TTV8 looks nice.

DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!

As for current E63 owners, please send them to me until Mercedes has worked out the problems. Its for your own good.

Aside from the music, that was certainly addicting.

This is not the same situation as the GX. The benz had the TCS off. The GX is still dangerous even with the TCS on.

Awesome video though. Thanks for sharing
