Before I begin this afternoon let me first apologize for the lack of updates yesterday.  After battling my deviant internet connection for half the day, I eventually decided to call it quits and head out of the office a bit early.  My internet connection now appears to have returned to its former, functioning self however, which means I can finally attend to the tips several of you were gracious enough to send me.

First up is a batch of Mercedes reviews - reviews which look at three distinct models: the E63 AMG; the E200K Classic; and the S550 4MATIC.

In my typical "Review Roundup" fashion I'll abstain from analyzing any of the aforementioned reviews in great depth; you can however find each review along with a brief description of what to expect from each immediately below.


Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG - CarsGuide.com.au gets behind the wheel of the 500+ horsepower E63 AMG, praising everything from its "monstrous V8 engine" to its "gorgeous Nappa leather"


Mercedes-Benz E200K Classic - Drive.com.au offers Australians a look at the Mercedes-Benz E200K, criticizing its powerplant and more-or-less labeling it the black sheep of the E-Class family


Mercedes-Benz S550 4MATIC - Road & Track shares their first drive impressions of the new four-wheel drive S-Class, echoing many of the sentiments held by previous reviewers and further validating the model's clear superiority in the field of luxury sedans


And to our friends Brad and Shiv:  thanks for the gentlemen; as always, we're humbly in your gratitude.
