How great thou art !!
I was going through the new S Class features today and I noticed that besides a few features dealing more with the cars dynamics and handling the E Class stacks up very,very well in terms of comfort and technology.
The new S still has the older style digital speedo message readout (similar to the old W210) whereas the new E has the fantastic round display and very hi-tech speedo needle and a much older looking dash board layout.
I personally think the W211 is all around the best four door on the road.....bar none!!

Couldn't agree with you more. MB has been tearing up the competition. Each version of the MB models then surpasses its sister models. We, as owners of the E will be catching up after the next round of S improvements. But, no other maker touches MB overall. There may be a faster car, there may be a "beefier" looking car, but there is never a better overall car-except the next generation of another MB model!!!!

Hi Jhb,
Attached is the photo of the E320 which I have being driving for the past 30 days. The handling is great, better than the S320 which is heavier. The car is super silient, and the response is faster.

He is a former Yank, BTW, and now lives in Ormand and has his offices in downtown Melbourne. How about you? One of his daughters is here in Boca Raton, FL and, in addition to being a super young lady, has a wonderful accent.

My stepdaughter went to Boca Raton HS and graduated three years ago. I went to Pine Crest Ft. Lauderdale and graduated, well, let's say more years ago than you are probably old, 35 years ago. Jeff
