well i am back. The HK was awesome. We drove the e320, no 500's...but the power was ok.....it did not have the sir sus, so it was kind of like the 2002..maybe a little quieter....All the materials were top notch, especially all the leather on side, and all the room was nice. We then drove the s430, to get a feel of the air sus, and we liked it...we thought power was there, but the e500 will be a lot better, so we are looking forward to that. The s430 was huge, but the materials were really really really horrible....the rear hand holder...i dont know what they call is was very crappy....but the ride was awesome...i hope the 500 will be as smooth as the s430! I really wasnt satisfied with the e320. Just cause..no metallic paint, no this, no that, it is well worth it to get the 500...and also, the trunk is very very very big "looking" Our 2002 camry xle v6 is bigger by the cubic feet, but the e trunk felt a lot bigger just cause it was longer..Everything felt nice on the inside, and i liked how the screen says mercedes benz on it when you start it up...I would reccomend to anyone to go for the 500...even if you have to wait...i think it is well worth it. Cruizing on the freeway was pretty quiet..but engine noise was there....i wouldnt hope the e500's engine is that loud...but atleast it doesnt work as hard...if any one has questions, ill be glad to answer them...also, the rear sport package tail lights are way way different then the regular taillights.....i loved!!!!!!!!! the sport taillights..but i would still go for the non sport...the taillights had this honey comb touch to it...go and check it out at the dealer, i was lucky to notice that..
