E500 On Motorweek

In additon to the "Car Keys" segment Motorweek did on the new E a couple of weeks ago, today I saw another piece they did on the E500. It was almost 7 minutes long. They loved the 500! And according to their tests said the E500 can go 0-60 in 5.7 sec!!

Motorweek appears on many Public Television stations across the country.

Smile I saw it too.

Boy when they did the 0-60 test did you see how fast it took off the line!? Unbelievable. Very fast looking.

If anyone missed it and has a replayTV 4000 series I still have it recorded and can email it to you if you like.

Thanks for the link to the PBS review.

For some reason the PBS stations (2) in Seattle do not run the Motorweek programs.
I asked them and they said that they did not subscribe to the programs. Bummer...
