Just saw the new E in person...

...looks even better than the pictures. More elegant and at the same time more sporty than the current model. Better proportioned than the new C-class, which is too tall and narrow to me.

The white gauge cluster with crome rings is very 300M, but still better than the C-class layout. The interior materials appear to be of high quality, but the console and center stack are very busy and bright.

This car will be a homerun.

Sorry, the cars aren't available for public viewing, and I can't reveal where they are.

E-class sighting

I know they were using the W211 in the moving Men in Black 2, which was shot in New York. Anyone think that is the car Ed A. saw?

I have seen many of them...

I went to stuttgart and went to the headquarters and to the factory tour in Sindelfingen and as a matter of fact I am still in germany... It looks like a great upgrade to the old and a very elegant design outside and hiugh quality looks inside...

I've seen it to, earlier today.

It was introduced at our dealers yesterday, and I have now booked a time for a test-drive. I will give you a report of my observations right after.
