Car and Driver Review on E320 Bluetec

They gave a quick review here with about 15 photos too. Still priced only $1,000 over the E350. The new interior color (brownish-yellow) doesn't look so hot. Perhaps it's better in person.

Here's the link:

Fast, economical, powerfull, holds resale value; what's not to like? It's a great car.

Unfortunately, it's not. It may even be worse.

its definetly a good investment, as when the gas prices go up again , you could probably sell into some profit.

I agree, although the color could be off in the pics. I've seen the new E350 with a light interior, and it looks very nice. I'm getting a "good old black" interior, which has always been my preference. Easier to keep clean as well.

Lou, you won't have to worry about cleaning the cloth threshold strip!

I like the Cashmere leather. It's like the one in the S-Class.

I just wish it came with 4MATIC. That's the only reason why I'd opt for the gas version instead.
