E class presentation pictures
Here are the pics.
This was silver 270 CDI Avantgarde. The colour was very light, almost white, but still metallic, under spotlights and I liked it the best for that. It had optional all black roof.
Avantgarde will have rear diode lights as opposed to normal ones for Elegance/Classic, bigger wheels, different grille and front air intakes, BiXenon headlights and sports suspension as standard.
Other two cars were both 220 CDI Elegance. One was dark gray metallic and the other kind of midnight blue/black metallic.
The side profile is great, very streamlined and sporty.
I absolutely loved Elegance wheels. These are 16" ones, but I think if you order sports suspension with Elegance they come in the same design but in 17". I have to check on that. Beautiful!
This is Elegance's central console.
I am not very good with camera and the crowd was making it REALLY difficult to take good pics, but enjoy

Best side profile shot I've seen. I think the console looks cheap in that color -- like it's a lot of junky plastic..my opinion.
Which is the upgraded front skirt, the silver or blue? I thought the blue car would have the black grill with that front dam.

The silver Avantgarde car has a different front skirt from both blue and gray Elegance cars. On Elegance it is divided into 3 sections and on Avantgarde it is one whole air dam and there is this thin plastic bar which is fixed in the middle. Also Avantgarde has these "corner lips" (?) attached at the bottom of the skirt on the right and on the left.
Foglamps are the same shape though.
Also Avantgarde grille has 5 horizontal bars and Elegance has 4.
There is quite a lot of small things differentiating the model lines.
Hmrdwn, thanks for the compliment, it's just the car is dark and the roofline merges with the people and etc. I should have photographed the silver car instead.
From the Mercedes website:
Put bigger wheels on it and it will be a star!

the center console picture
is not elegance. that is the classic. It looks the chepaest and is because it is from the classic line. You can tell from not only the radio but also the climate control which does not have any digital read out. that will not make it to the US.

With all the respect PHYBENZ I'll correct your statement. It is an Elegance model. There were no Classic cars among the ones presented, I think I should know?
Also I'll note that it doesn't depend on a line what kind of aircon you get, Thermatic is standard on all the cars except E 500, that one has Thermotronic, which you were probably referring to, installed as standard.

Thanks for the pictures. The wheels on the 270 cdi are really nice.
The interior doesn't appear cheap as some have suggested. The buttons around the center console do remind me of the last generation of BMW 7 series to some extent.
I have travelled extensively in Spain and I find it to be a beautiful country with wonderful people.

You are welcome guys, thank you for the kind words regarding everything.
The cars are at the dealership now, they are all sold, but the customers agreed to leave them for the demo purposes for a little while.
My father is picking up his E 270 CDI in about one month time, that's something to look forward to.
