Americans don’t see wagon versions of performance cars like Europeans do, but fast long-roof models occasionally make their way here, including the Audi RS6 and new BMW M5. Mercedes has long offered the AMG E63 S wagon here in the States,

Mercedes E53 Wagon will arrive in the United States later this year. It joins the E450 All-Terrain and features a plug-in hybrid powertrain with up to 604 hp. Customers can opt for a special edition with AMG graphics and unique touches.

Surprise! While we await news on the new-generation E63 and its long-running wagon variant, AMG drops an E53 wagon on us.
