Caught the W212 E Class testing in Washington DC

I was driving to meet with a client when I happened to run into this guy. Sorry if the pics are not of the best quality, I took it with my camera phone. I did like the general lines of the car and I'm looking forward to when they do release the car. Does anyone have an inclination when Mercedes might release this?

It has to do with the picture resolution his phone is set at. If you enlarge a "small" picture it will pixilate.

MB and Chrysler/Dodge tests in my area down here (probably because of the extreme humidity and heat).. I've got a few cameras in my car at al times this time of year, I never know when I'll see them.

Those are 120*160 pixels. Is there even a phone camera that does that low? Perhaps the photos were resized when uploaded? If the phone was set to this size, the owner should change it immediately.

Next time you see the test car, race up in front of him and cut him off... then get out and take plenty of good pix of the interior too.

Good work spotting it on the road. My dealer told me that it will be available to buy at the end of this year. He said the lease price will probably go for around $800~900 !!!

The 212 e-class will def not be available at the end of this year...it hasnt even made an appearance at a major auto show yet.

New releases go as follows:

GLK: Q1 of CY '09, MY '10
E-Class: Q2-Beginning of Q3 as a MY'10
CLK: Q1-Q2 of CY '09, MY '10

Whatever dealer told you that the new E will be out this year has no idea what he is talking about.

The only new thing to go the E in MY '09 is NGC2.5 w/DVD playback as well as AMG sport package standard.

My comment was not about the lease price but the availability date.
