Pros

Awe-inspiring 612hp + 1000Nm in the S65 AMG
Overall robust and powerful drivetrains
Further improved exterior styling
Superb suspension setup

Great E63 AMG with either M156 or M157
Good 0.25 drag coefficient
Good towing capacity
Better reputation for quality

Reintroduction of C55 AMG
Slightly less rusty
Good 0.26 drag coefficient
Good towing capacity

Cons

Horrendous ABC reliability in higher-end models
4MATIC started to appear

Arguably less elegant than W211
MacPherson strut front suspension

Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
Troublesome 7G-Tronic transmission
Non-AMG models still looked "off"
