Motor Trend's First Drive: New E

My favorite quote:

"The new E-Class is every bit as solid, quiet, and well made as the current model.
We suspect it'll be even safer, and we appreciate the added drama of the car's new lines and more shapely interior.

And for the first time (in non-AMG form), the E-Class can now be added to that short list of luxury/sport sedans that entertain as they transport."

Finally they've done it and the credit has been given. I am sure new E will be the benchmark in its' class, a much tougher rival for the upcoming 5 than the previous (W210) was for present the 5 series.

That was an excellent review.

Wow!


According to the article, these are the CONS:
______________
High entry fee

Smallish rear seat

Auto trans only
------------------------


I think those are really good cons too...seems like there wasnt anything bad with the car at all...
