4MATIC vs Rear Wheel on new E550 Coupe
Anyone have a E500/E550 Coupe without 4MATIC? Curios on your feedback. I'm ordering the 2014 but 4MATIC is only on the 350 for the first year.

Cool...my dealer is telling me NOT to get the care w/o 4MATIC, but I have a jeep so I'll just go for the new 2014 E550 Coupe.

I'm pretty sure you'll be happy. I have a set of Conti A/S tires, and the wet traction was incredible. They worked just fine in an inch of snow, too. We didn't get much powder this year, so it wasn't a big test, but I kept the factory wheels and will be installing winter tires for next year. In the Spring, I'll be putting on some Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position rubber.
