You see them everywhere, chock full of car seats and errant Apple Jacks, screaming kids and harried parents: minivans. They're actually fine, useful vehicles whether you have a young family or not, but it's the giving up that the minivan implies, the assumption that life has somehow pointed you in a direction that precludes vehicular fun. The sliding door has claimed too many of us and shouldn't be allowed to claim any more. Fortunately, there's a remedy -- one that just might let you sidestep the issue altogether: the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLS63. The hottest variant of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class lineup, the AMG GLS63 is most definitely not a minivan. Instead, it's the closest thing you can get to a seven-seat S-Class uber-wagon, raised a couple of inches and fed a diet of steroids and amphetamines. It's also more of a cosseting, high-speed continent crosser than a canyon carver, but that doesn't mean the AMG team didn't try its best to make it fully capable in any situation. |
