I notice that Mercedes is blanketing the airwaves with their ad campaign to push the remaining 2012 models out the door by July 31 at reduced prices. I'm sure they want as many of these cars as possible sold before they reveal the final details, pictures and prices of the 2013 models. As one of the many who have a 2013 on order, these revelations can't come too soon.

I'm considering ordering one as well and trying to find out if the headlight changes (no quads) are coming on the '13 my's before pulling the trigger on a 2012. Any further info from your dealer on this?

To be honest, I think we hear MB news before most dealers do. The "no quad headlight" rumor for 2013 is very persistent. I did hear today the the new base price for the 2013 E350 coupe is $51120, up $1320 from 2012.

The quad lamps make the car - It'll will make the front end look like a C class, like what happened to the CL...

Perfectly said.

I got the price on my 2013 Monday. Base price is up $500.00 and options are the same price as 2012. Car remains the same as 2012 except for small changes on the comand screen.
My car is on rail to Ottawa,ON and could be here by Friday with a little luck. My wife,old what's her name, is very anxious to take delivery.

Great news! Did you buy the e350 coupe or sedan ? Please send us pics. My wife has to wait for hers until we pick it up in Germany on Sept 5th. Soon all the speculation about engine and design changes for 2013 will be over.

Agreed, although the integrated LED's could look nice. According to dealer ordering guide, 2013's will all have std MBrace and they're doing away with those stupid blue efficiency badges. Factory must've got the memo!

The '13's are now up on mbusa.com. For my car, there do appear to be some changes in the options pricing structure, but nothing drastic.

Net-net, my '12 duplicated as closely as possible in a '13 is +$650 MSRP, with the options I have.

About the same here.

According to the pictures on the MBUSA.com site, the E-class doesn't have the integrated LEDs that we see on the C-class and the CL-class for 2013.

MrH

Ya looks like its only the Euro '13's for now. Won't be in the US until next year. Likely with the single turbo engine rehaul as well.

Now the dealer tells me the car is being held at the Port Of Entry(Halifax) by MB for some reason. They are not releasing the 13 E class at this time. No reason was given. Hope to find out more info this coming week. The car has been sitting in Halifax since July 11th.

This may apply to anyone else expecting their car.

MB South Orlando, MB Maitland, and MB Tampa have 2013 E550s on their lot. Working between them to see who can give the best price
