more power in w210????

I just picked my car last night and I drove it whole noon today. I feel that new E320 has less power than the current E320. Is it just me??? or is it because the new E has more weight ( I dont know which one has more weight ( W210 or W211)??? Also the interior is much smaller than the current E. Those are my opinion in comparing the current E with new E since I own both new E and current E. They are 320 engine.

one place the new E is smaller is the rear seat headroom. with the new rear panoramic sunroof you lose about an inch of headroom. doing a side by side. I just clear in the older E but have solid contact in the new. I haven't had a chance to get in one without the pana roof.

How tall are you boltonblue? The rear seat leg room is also .4 inches smaller. Don't know why MB took any space out the rear seating area. If anything it should have increased or at least stayed the same.
