Thanks for the other comments guys!
Rims are not stock - come from TireRack and are manufactured by a company named Elbrus. Specific model is i06 (they came from my C300 and look super sexy on the C as well...

My first impression of the E interior was at least %75 C content i.e. steering wheel, instrument bezel, center console / shifter, door panels / trim, various switches, and misc details.
Did not look or feel like it was worth the extra cost over C quite frankly.
Clearly Daimler's profit margin on the E is far greater than the C.
E is a very nice car!

I am now not really surprised that Mercedes profits are sky rocketing with only a moderate increase in sales... Haha.

GLK is the best buy in that segment IMO - they seem to be having a tough time getting traction though...guess the exterior looks are not that desirable.

FYI - for those of you who have X-pipes, Mercedes (MBF) welcomed the upgrade with open-arms and thanked me when we called them @ lease return.
A weight off my shoulders
(Disclaimer - I still recommend calling MBF yourself for due-diligences' sake. Wouldn't want you to get charged back.)

Had that same gut-wrenching feeling the first time I serviced my C and there was the new 2010 E550. Wow. Only twice the cost of the C300 Sport. Hmmm... After due deliberation, the W204 fits my needs just fine, and love the C Sport.
However, maybe in 2012 I could see a CPO 2010 E for USA driving, my V12 BMW is just getting to expensive to maintain.
