Shouldn't the forum name be changed to drop the "New"? It's already been three years, after all. Sorry to nitpick. :p

Wow, please post the "new" version if it's not the W211. MBUSA said this was it. I heard something "new" was due in 2008 . . . I hope I didn't make a mistake in my order.

Well, I guess my point was that the W203 and W220 don't have New in their forum titles...

Then let's call this the "newest" E Class . . . grammatically and factually correct!

Whenever I think that my 9/02 build car is getting a bit, you know, old, I just go to the www.mbworld.org main page and read "The All New W211 E-Class Lands In The US (October 20, 2002)" and I feel all better.

This is not a knock on the mbworld.org folks, whoever they are. They are providing a very valuable service with a minimum of advertising support.

I think this is the best argument. I think the reason they do this is because there are still a lot of w210 owners on this board and they don't want their forum to be called the "Old E-Class" forum. Kinda like the w208 and w209 forums.
