Anyone have the dimensions info of this car?

Went to the NY Auto Show on Friday and saw the car upclose in person. Looks very nice, but the dark green color wasn't the best choice for it. It does sit lower to the ground than the E (atleast that's the way it appeared to me when I got up onto the platform to see it).

So back to the topic - anyone know the dimensions of this car (both the interior and exterior)?

That is a very good question. I have read too many conflicting reports on this. One article said the car's overall deminsions were nearly as big as an S Class, while others seem to imply it is only a modified E Class. Pictures showing the rear seat area show much more leg room than the E Class. An true medium size MB car (larger than the E Class, but smaller than the S Class) would make sense.

I guess putting something between the E and S would be the right thing to do, but what kind of a size difference would that make? like 1 inch? The thing that throws most people off though is that they think of this car as a coupe when it's really a sedan that looks like a coupe. The back part of the car is made in such a way that gives the windows an appearance of a coupe (chopped top look?). This was also the reason that I first thought it was smaller than E (CLK size), but when I saw it in person it looked to be the same size as E (though it sits closer to the ground). What I mainly want to know though are the interior dimensions of rear and front seating capacities.
