The 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63S wagon is not a throwback to the classic hot-rod family haulers of the past.

As the threat of a trade war with a number of auto-producing nations looms, interest groups are sounding the alarm that U.S. employees and consumers would be hurt first and foremost if the threatened 20 or 25 percent tariffs go into effect.
