Thanks my friend! I can't do it without your support!

I have to say, I like your reviews very much. Very precise and unbiased unlike others in this segment. Keep the good work!

I stumbled upon your video.... I must say you're one of the best sales people I've ever seen. Coming from a salesman... Kudos to you. You're spot on.

Another morning in the office, another video from Joe to binge watch. Keep em' coming!

Hi Joe, I found one like this one near me in black, slightly used for $58,800. Love that brown interior. I prefer big Mercs in black. A great touring car too I think.

You know you’re hot when you get a notification and by the time you click on the video there’s 60 views and 3 comments. Dang awesome work Joe.

It’s nice. I love coupe’s. Another great review. Keep up the good work.

Hey Joe... Nice job... Nonstop videos!

I really like the way you review all the cars. You give a lot of good information and I really think you are one of the most honest reviewers out there. And I do want to know if a car has a place for me to hide my Twinkies and can a cup holder hold my big gulp. Keep up the great work!!

I just picked up a 2015 E550 biturbo V8 and so far it's been great. 30 mpg on my last road trip. Can't beat that.

Great 👍🏾 review! Bring the AMG E 63 S to the channel! I’m hoping to take a look at it this coming week.

This guy is very well spoken, great 👍🏼 video man

Haven’t watched it yet and I already love the video/Car.

I am glad to see greens are making their way back into the showroom floor.

Love the camera work in this video. That’s the only thing you was kinda missing 🙏🏽

Great looking Mercedes Benz. I think the S class coupe has the best looking seats, but I do love the wood trim that goes cross the dash onto the doors.

Nice review of a nice car! However, you did not mention it is the only true "hardtop" available on the market nor show us the nice effect of all windows down, nor the wide opening sunroof panel! Those elements greatly add to the beauty of this vehicle.

I am in awe of those door panels, but more in awe of the Tennessee Titans. Go Titans!!

Hi Joe, great vid and review, but I think you've got the top speed a bit wrong... I think it's 155mph, limited.

Joe, Why dont you adjust the driver seat for you, and on the back seat analysis you seat right behind? That would great.. the eay you normally do, we do not have a precise idea of how much leg room you have on the back seat..... Please fix that if possible....

I’m digging the T-shirt Joe 👌🏾

Hi Joe. Fun review as always. However, a couple of zonks from me on this one. First, you should drop the click bait titles. You didn't mention the A5 once in the entire review. Why ask a question that you had no intention of answering. Second, you have already reviewed the E53 AMG. Granted even it's not a full AMG, but that is the closest we have in NA. There was no compare/contrast with that model. My final point, I think that you should review cars in the context/market in which they compete. For this car, it is clearly meant to be a GT car. Compare it to other GT cars above and below its price range. You have driven several already while many of us have not. Your perspective would provide valuable input for those looking to purchase a vehicle in this category. I really appreciate the honesty and enthusiasm of your reviews. If you can just take that next step your content will be even better.

Now your speaking my language Joe Rati....lol..👍👍👍

Why is there rust on the tire already?

Not sure if anyone mentioned it already but the A5 competes with the C Class not the E. The E Class is the competitor to the A6. The previous E class coupe could arguably compete with the A5 as it was built on the C Class chassis however not this one. Cheers.

I drove one and as sleek and low as it is, it drove way too soft for my liking.. I thought it would handle better and be somewhat sporty to drive but it wasnt...... I also looked at a E53, and it was a bit more sporty and quicker off the line, but when you consider it was about the same as a new BMW M550i ... I think I like the 550 better..
