Sightings

I am now starting to see a few new Es around town. Every color has looked terrific. With different trim they look a little different but common to all (in different degrees based upon trim) are the following qualities: luxurious, elegant and sporty. Those of us who have received delivery or will be (end of October for me) are very lucky indeed. Have the rest of you been seeing any on the road? How are you impressed?

01 CLK430 cab, Silver/Ash/Blk top: 2003 E500 On order Silver/Ash, Sport package
We are in Orlando, and there is a pres. of a bank that works out at the same gym we do and he took delivery of a black 500 with stone interior, E-2 and sport package. It is really sharp. Our 500 Silver with ash, and E-2, E-3 (Sport), wood & leather wheel, should be here between Oct. 1&10th according to my salesman. My wife and I both are looking forward to it. Are current sedan is a 95' S320, was a great car 78k miles, runs great, I had an extended warranty which was up 3-02. However when I took delivery of my long (18 month) delivery CLK 430 cab, riding around in a large 6 cylinder has taken on a whole new impression.
