Last week, I brought up how SBX, Supercar Blondie’s site, might be shifting from listing just the ultra high-end cars to more accessible ones in the $100k range. Well, checking the site again tonight (Sunday), I noticed they now have a section called 'Available Now,' which is basically a ‘buy it now’ or ‘deal tank’ feature.

Here’s the thing—while that might be a smart move, they’ve kept all the auction data from their previous listings, complete with end dates, still visible. Sure, most people probably won’t care and will reach out if they’re serious about buying. But to me, it points to a bigger issue: a lack of focus on getting the execution just right. If they really want to step up and earn their place as a go-to platform for these types of vehicles, attention to detail matters.

I really hope they pull it together. They’ve got serious potential, but they need some real expertise guiding the ship. Word is they’re talking to some credible talent, which is promising. But the real test will be whether they give any new management team the freedom to operate without interference from above. And they’ll need to prove that commitment, showing they’re serious about getting the platform running at its best.

And honestly, I wonder if any serious expert in this field would even consider joining them. It’s not just about attracting top talent—it’s about convincing them that they’ll have the freedom and support to make real changes. That’s a tall order, and any credible person would need to be sure they won’t be micromanaged or held back. The question is: can SBX genuinely commit to that level of trust and investment to get the platform purring?

This 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon is a masterclass in why fast wagons are some of the most fun and versatile cars out there. There’s something incredibly satisfying about having 603 horsepower under your right foot, ready to blow past sports cars—all while carrying groceries or the kids' soccer gear. It’s the ultimate sleeper, a car that lets you live a double life: part performance junkie, part practical parent.

Wagons like this don’t just offer utility; they bring a level of surprise and thrill you don’t get in an SUV. And if you can grab one of these at the right price, it could be a fantastic buy. Sure, this example has its quirks: a few dings and some wear, plus a history of minor damage, but with a thorough service record and those aggressive mods, it’s a beast meant to be driven, not babied. If you’ve ever wanted a car that does it all—and makes you grin like a kid every time you hit the throttle—this E63 S Wagon deserves a serious look.

When I say the 'right' price, I mean the sweet spot where the value outweighs any cosmetic imperfections. Here's some data on recent auctions with mileage to give you an indication of where the market sits. This one has 50k miles..

If that 2018 E63 S Wagon didn’t quite do it for you because you’re after something fresher, this 2023 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4MATIC Final Edition might be exactly what you’re looking for. With just 329 miles on the clock and one of only 999 Final Editions ever made, this thing screams exclusivity. Finished in the stunning Manufaktur Graphite Gray Magno, it’s got all the right touches—carbon fiber accents, a panoramic sunroof, and those signature AMG forged cross-spoke wheels.

Where the 2018 model offers a “lived-in” charm, this 2023 Final Edition is pure showroom perfection. It packs the same heart-stopping 603-horsepower twin-turbo V8 but in a package so refined, it feels like a completely different animal. And let’s talk about those interior details: gray and black Exclusive Nappa leather with eye-catching yellow stitching, dual 12.3-inch digital displays, and a Burmester sound system to elevate your driving soundtrack.

At $100,000 current bid, you’re paying for the privilege of newness, collector appeal, and factory-fresh everything. (MSRP was $177k) If you can snag it at the right price, this wagon doesn’t just promise performance and luxury—it’s a future classic in the making. Here’s some data on recent auction results, complete with mileage comparisons, to give you a sense of where the market stands. Keep in mind, this one has only 329 miles.
