Pros
  • The last of the M279 bi-turbo V12s
  • Return of I6 engines
  • Superb suspension setup
  • Ingenious MBC hydraulic suspension
  • Comfortable yet good-handling multi-link suspensions all-around
  • Good 0.28 drag coefficient
  • Imposing styling
  • Very reliable powertrain
  • Rather simple, elegant design
Cons
  • S63 AMG became AWD only
  • Downsized drivetrain with high turbo boost
  • Somewhat over-styled yet still generic
  • Too many electronics
  • No SWB vehicle
  • No V8
  • Hybrid transmission became too complex
  • Arguably too many gears
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
  • Essentially an Aurion / Camry
