You've been scooped on the newsflash:

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/101415-e-class-safest-car-suv-road.html

... the W210 was rated, not the W211, though it's unlikely that the W211 is less safe than the W210.

What you feel bad about is your business. What you do on the road is not just your business, but since we are, fortunately, a continent apart, it's not my business.

Not for the W211

Alas, that data is for the 1999 - 2002 model E-Class, i.e., the W210.

I got very excited when I first saw this, as our other vehicle is a Toyota 4Runner, which came in second best. This data, too, is for the previous generation vehicle.

Ratz!

I saw that too. What happened to evolution... It's not a far fetched idea that the latter version would be as, if not, safer... no?
