The speakers in the back doors are like that for a reason. The smaller speaker is actually called a “tweeter”. It compensates the bigger speaker’s loud deeper sound frequencies by adding in much higher pitch frequencies. This equates to an overall pitch perfect listening experience :). -Hans from Mercedes-Benz Audio Department(Gutentag!)

Doug, stop making me want a station wagon.

"I just wish I could afford to buy one for myself." ... 7 months later: "I bought a 2005 Ford GT!"

Doug, the type of guy to have more fun in a wagon than a Lambo

You could see the stars in his eyes with this wagon. Dougs in love!

Doug thanks for teaching me how to steal a AMG E63’s hub caps

The blanket is for all the people who bought that car with super high payments and now have to live in that car.😂

"It means it's going to lose a lot of value." Which means; Doug is going to own one in a few years.

The Doug Score is one of the best ranking systems on Earth. There should be a federal mandate for it to appear on the window sticker right next to the EPA mileage rating :)

I'm just here for the sun visors

Kicks the crap out of any comparable SUV out there. Bad-ass to the extreme.

Doug: Thank you for reviewing my car. Brought lots of smiles to me, my family and friends!

Doug, the type of guy who thinks submarines have good visibility.

Doug is the type of guy who criticizes latest tech in cars but still uses yahoo email displayed on his videos Windows Movie Maker style from 1998

As a owner of one I question the "cool" score. It seems "cool" for Doug means "flashy" . In my book, the very fact that most people wouldn't recognize the beast this machine is , now that is the "coolest" factor of all.

Hey Doug! Correction to the guys name who built the engine: it’s “Peter Gerlach” . You couldn’t read it easily, because those names are always in the handwriting of this very person, how Peter writes it! Nice channel, though. Frank from Stuttgart, Germany, where they build these cars nearby , and across the city from Porsche

Doug the type of guy to go on a wedding in Cargo shorts and T-shirt

Whenever I'm eating lunch, Doug always uploads a new video. Perfect timing as always....

A Mercedes engineer talking to the Mercedes CEO: Engineer: so what car do you want V8's in? CEO: Yes

Doug the type of guy who takes a submarine as an example for good visibility😊

Doug is obviously making a bit of money now, he can afford proper clothing and TWO different coats!

Doug, the type of guy to brag about his dirty car

21:51 doug: "i love the sound.. oh i love how tight it feels.."

Doug, it‘s time for a new E63 ;)

Funny in Germany Estates are way more popular than the limo versions. And E Classes around here are so common even Taxi drivers have the new E Class estate

Doug is the type of guy who has never driven his grandma around and assumes she would know how to ajust her seat position or its heating. She won't, Dave. That's why you can control those features from your door. And, you should also learn how speakers work, the larger one is the midbass or woofer, designed for voice and midrange frequencies, and the smaller one is the tweeter, made for more treble or higher frequency sounds.

I have been binge watching your videos over the past couple weeks and this thing, of all of the videos I've watch, has become my dream car. Thanks.... lol

Thank you for these constant bangers Doug!! I watch your videos with my dad who recently lost his eye sight. We love watching your videos together and my dad really enjoys the detailed descriptions you give. He enjoys all the narrations because it helps him follow along with the video. He always asks “did Doug upload a new video?” Since I showed him the video you did on the demon, he’s been hooked. Thank you for these great videos that my dad and I bond over our love of cars!

We all know the Doug's score on this car is going to be HIGH.

What the hell would a 100/100 doug score car look like?

Doug, VWs since 2015 have a pop out backup camera. The VW badge tilts up, a door opens and a camera pops out.

Doug the type of guy to have a zoomed in, pixelated profile pic on facebook

12:37 describes the look of the start button as a "weird hippie image of the sun", when its clearly just made to look like a turbine engine...

I like how you can control the power seats and heating from the driver side. Never know when your mother or grandmother might end up in the front and need some help adjusting the seats

I am about to pull the trigger on a E450 wagon. It drives so nicely, good handling and has tons of room I need for my two large dogs. Wagons are the best of all worlds. I wish I could afford this AMG wagon but I'll be happy with the E450 :) Great review BTW.

I can explain the first aid kit and the blanket, both of them are required in eh EU or at least Germany, that’s why they alsways match those laws, probably easier to manufacture only one version of it... the blanket is also known as space blanket and it’s highly heat reflective, so that a injured person won’t lose body heat quickly and yes they work quite wel

The brand-name on the turn signal would be unnnecessary on a BMW

In 10 years I'll be able to afford the ashtray

What a world we live In. Wagons used to be slow family cars and now they are getting faster and faster. More options for me when I have kids so I guess that's good.

Pretty sure that "weird hippie image of the sun" engine start button is actually meant to be a Jet Engine Turbine...LOL

*Doug the type of guy that customizes his coffin to include internal trunk release*

Me: "i want to buy a Lamborghini" GF: "what if we have kids?!" Me: "oh, ill just buy this station wagon that is faster then a Huracan. Why not?" This post was made by rich but has family gang.

"When you engage manual mode.... the red line doubles in size, they think you're an idiot. They want to make sure you see the red line" 😅🤦🏽‍♂️

Have you never been camping? Survival blankets are a thin metallic looking film/foil. Preserves body heat

The guy who built your engine was named Peter Gerlach.

I've always loved wagons... from every manufacturer, every make/model. 3 minutes into this video, I had a "moment"

Doug, the ability for the driver to change the temperature and positioning for the passenger, is so one can be a gentleman. I was talking to you at my television when I saw that. lol

Doug needs to dougscore more used cars...like 10 year old cars that we can buy without financing.

Annnd now every E63S owner ever will be missing the center cap to their wheels haha

Thanks for not being biased I just saw another review from a guy who doesn’t like these and I was freaking out about the lack of space in the 2 row thinking my kids will be too squished and it will be a deal breaker 😭😭😭 but then I see yours and realised he had his front seats way back to make it look bad! So thank you coz I want my wagon!!!!

Seeing Doug enjoy driving this car made me so happy.

Survival Blankets are usually a Mylar Film with a reflective coating applied. The coating reflects your body heat back towards you. They keep you surprisingly warm given how thin they are. That is why it can fold up so small. They are also pretty fragile so basically a one time use thing. Me, I keep a sleeping bag in the back of my vehicles during the winter along with some other goodies to survive an over night in sub zero temps.

doug the type of guy to stop at a red light in GTA

The best sun visors ever are in the 1995 Taurus SHO. You have the normal one you fold down (which has a dimmer switch for the drivers mirror light). Then, you have a small one so you can do the front and side action. But then, the small one has a slide out extender to block that tiny little gap in the corner where the two of them meet. Should be in every car. I know 95 SHO's are hard to find, but go check that out. You'll be blown away.

I wanna be on the team that decides what quirks go into this wagon. "Do we include the Nurburgring time? Absolutely. Purple interior color? No prob. Spy-like backup camera w/ drop down? Of course. 3 different ways to use the main screen? I gotchu."

Doug the type of guy to rate a wagon the same score as a 918...

"i love how tight it feels" - doug demuro 21:56

That was an honest, non biased, well communicated evaluation.

Emergency blankets are mandatory in first aid kits in Germany. All cars have them.

I wish wagons were more popular here in the US. They’re so bad ass

@Doug DeMuro Blue light: In germany we do have blue light reflector at roadmarkings, which is positioned and runs through wilderness. this blus light is annoying for animals and drive/scares them away from the road - so I guess this is a extra feature to prevent crashes with animals

Doug is the type of guy to wear two shirts plus a HOODIE😂

22:26 Bro... I swear you sounded like you had a serious case of the smokers laugh!

Doug, almost every Volkswagen for years now has been doing the rear camera thing, just even smoother with the camera hidden in the rear badge.

"I Love how tight it feels" - doug demuro

Doug, the American Top gear Man. True i do know much about cars but Doug is Very Good.

We LOVE seeing Doug Happy .

Warning: excessive use of "WAGON" ahead.

5:01 Look, LAND ROVER, they are aligned beautifully!!

Im 18 with no intention of ever buying a station wagon but I'll be damned if i pass watching doug reviewing one!!

Have to say that I've just started watching your videos (along with videos from Jay Leno's Garage) and am impressed with the way you inform us about these cars with humor and quirky details about each of them, and then score them at the end. Keep up the good work

Props to Doug, his research involves trial and error, unlike generic car reviews

Hey Doug. The smaller speaker next to the bigger speaker on the door in the back seats are what is called "Tweeters" and for the bigger speaker obviously, the "bass". The tweeters are responsible for the high frequencies and the bass obviously the lower frequencies. Instead of having the tweeters on top of the bass speaker to make one speaker total, hence (2-way speakers) they are separated, therefore creating a MUCH richer sound experience. Just in case you were wondering. That's why the higher scale automakers, even newer cars today, we see more and more speakers being separated and placed all over the cars.. I love your videos man! Keep going!!

I want one so bad, such a cool wagon, it's so much faster than the older one. It's bonkers fast. I have no words

Im an intern at daimler R&D and a buddy of mine from design was very excited an showed me these diamond rear lights. from the far i was like so what they look pretty normal but as soon as you see it they look so amazing. it is one of those things that doesnt bother normal people but if you own the car its just really special.

21:52 "I love the sound I love how tight it feels" Literally doug when having sex

just gonna be that guy now:The Blanket is a Silver-/Goldfoil Medical Blanket designed to keep an injured person warm, as its made of very thin metal foil it can be put in very small packaging. The small/medium/large speaker thing might be just marketing, but higher sounds can be reproduced better (at least its easier to achieve) with smaller speakers and so on. again, sorry for being that guyI just like Audio and Medical stuffzthose explanations are kinda shortened

never heard Doug more excited about driving a car.

I appreciate another wagon enthusiast. This is basically the dream wagon.

Doug the type of guy to not know what a thermal blanket is

Thumps up if you want Doug to review a submarine next!

That survival blanket is one of those plastic “space blankets” that are a PVC sheet with silver Mylar side. They really can keep you warm but no breathability. They get really sweaty but that’s probably the least of your problems.

My dad owns a mercedes benz dealership in Serbia, and they have seen severe damage feom not using offical oils for everything, good example are stearing gear/lever, not certifed oil can make the inside of the lever to oxidise, it leads to SERVO oil leak and can result in Servo pump mailfuncion just bc you saved fucking 2€ per litter on oil. I dont know how these parts are called in english but i think i got the right term

!!!!!!DOUG!!!!!!!! PLEASE start doing start up videos, I really REALLY wanna hear all your cars start up and what it sounds like on the outside. Keep doing awesome videos!

Most kids my age: I want a Lambo when I grow up! Me: I want a Mercedes Benz Station wagon!

21:55 Doug, the type of guy who slips in an innuendo here and there

11:00 honestly this is something I’ve really wanted my brother is 6 foot 6 and every time i bring him anywhere in my e class he leaves the seat all the way back making it super hard to see at intersections that aren’t a 90 degree turn. And I also get kind of annoyed when the front seats aren’t positioned the same

The Name of the Plate from AMG is Peter Gerlach ;-) Nice greetings from Germany.

lmao Doug's face when he floors the accelerator

Doug, the type of guy to get his whole family inside an E63S and have a great family time at 200mph

Control over the position of the passenger seats is something that I dreamed of having for years, mostly when I want something to bit properly but couldn't wihtout moving the passenger seat. That is truly a luxury feature. AF

Doug, the type of guy who is in his best phase of his life reviewing virtually whatever cars he like..or hates.

start stop button looks like a sun? to me it looks like a turbine from a airplane xD

Holy depreciation Batman. These things lose $70,000 in value in TWO years! That’d be like buying an M3 then throwing it away after two years.

When he said "It reminds BMW drivers that they are.."KZfaq thought him saying "BMW" was a clue to show me a BMW commercial. So when the commercial ended, "INFERIOR!"

Review the new S650 maybach!!!

Doug the kinda guy to go to sleep with the emergency blanket

One of my good friends has one of these in an almost identical spec, and it's absolutely insane. I only got to ride in it once or twice, but it blew me away every single time. I think I have a 0-60 video of it on my channel somewhere if you scroll way down. If I could afford one of these someday I know I'll be buying one.

VWs like the 2014 Passat also have a hidden backup camera that comes out of the VW logo when you put it in reverse. The logo is also the button to open the trunk.

I wonder if automakers are just battling others to get a higher DougScore and more quirks.
