2012 E350 Coupe
'12 E350C up on mbusa.com
For those interested, the new 2012 E350 Coupe was just listed in full detail on the official U.S. website.
Among other things, it shows the new LED DRL's, new interior/exterior colors, new steering wheel, etc.
http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicl...=E&model=E350C
Enjoy.
Additional observations:
The description of the Sport Suspension that comes with the optional Appearance Package has added wording this year indicating that the car has a lowered ride height. I do not remember that being the case prior to '12. Combined with the very nice 18" AMG wheels that come with the package, it would certainly improve the overall appearance and stance.
Music Register is now 10gb.
MB corrected the fuel mileage rating in the detailed specifications section to EPA 18/27. It is still incorrectly listed as 17/24 elsewhere.

Yes I noticed the bigger Music storage of 10g vs my 2010 6g... also they upped the HP... peaks 300hp.... from the listing, it sounds like new hardware inside the engine, not just a new program.

The V6 is a whole new engine. 60 degree block, direct injection, etc. You can check mbusa.com for some details.
There are also better technical discussions available on other enthusiast-oriented websites. Unfortunately, the ones I've found have not been updated yet to reflect the actual V6 that has been released for the U.S.A.
For example, HP is 302, not 306 as in Europe, and fuel efficiency achieved does not equal original expectations here, since MB had to make changes to allow for our sulfur-laced fuel.
Still, 18/27 is not bad considering the higher output. And more torque is always a good thing.
I'm anxious to find out how it feels, compared to the '10 E350C I test drove for a few hours last year.

Hi all. I ordered my 2012 E350 cabriolet on June 3, 2011. The dealership is now saying that the delivery date will be late August or early September. Of course, I can hardly wait. What I can't understand is if some have already received theirs, why is it virtually impossible to find a good picture of the 2012??? When I finally receive mine, I'll take lots of pictures. BTW, this will be my 4th Benz!
