2019 Mercedes-AMG E53 review: Coupe and Cabriolet

In case you’re wondering, yes, this new Mercedes-AMG E53 is the replacement for the E43 AMG gone by. If you happen to own one of those, it’s now a collectible of some kind… Sort of. Since the numbers at the end of AMG models seem to have no actual correlation to anything comprehensible, given there was a time when 55 meant a 5.5-litre engine or 63 meant an (almost) 6.3-litre engine, we may as well embrace the 53 nomenclature now.
