I went to order the E550 Coupe, but seems the pricing is going to be about $300 per month more on a lease (anticipated) than the 350.

Went with:

Obsidian Black
Black/Brown Leather
Sport Package
Wood wheel
Colored front grill
Rear spoiler
Lane Tracking
Black roof liner
Lighting Package
Parking assist

I hope I'm happy with the engine...I don't think there is much difference otherwise between the 350 and 550.

I ordered the 550. I was told list price was anticipated to be around $1k more. Options cost the same as 2013. Packages are different though.

Taurian

550 will be at least $7k more...but the lease is the issue. The money factor is always higher and the residual is lower. The 550 is not as mass produced. Plus...the dealers don't have incentives to give. For a lease...it's about $350 per month more than a 350.

Can you post the order guide?

BIG difference in performance between 350 and 550 engines. Otherwise, great vehicle and congrats!

Tough car to order now...very little marketing materials, actual pictures of colors, financing....

The retail launch of the E coupe is mid June. When I ordered mine, the options and packages were loaded, but no prices. I'll have to go to the dealer for color comparison on sedans since the coupes wont hit the showrooms for awhile. All options are not available on initial launch either, they roll out slowly.

Kirkster

Official retail launch is 6/7. I suspect pricing will be made avaiable then along with all of the product info.

I really want the 550...but I just can't imagine the car w/o 4Matic.

4Matic is probably really nice but I just love Rwd. So fun!
I put on really good winter tires, slow down on turns, and practice in a parking lot on the first winter. Then I am good to go. Bring on the white stuff. You do have to drive it differently in the snow versus 4matic (less aggressive), but that's ok. I don't need to drive fast in bad weather anyway. In the spring, summer, and fall it is worth having the RWD car (in my opinion).

Did I mention I have a Jeep

Kirkster

I'm with ya. I live in Minnesota and I had a hard time deciding on what car to order. I went with the 550 mainly because 2014 will be the last year for the 550 and the V8.

Taurian

yup. I'm switching the order to a 550.

You won't regret it. The twin-turbo V8 is a monster.
