2006 E 500....whats different?

Hi guys. Have anyone got any info on whats going to be different on the 2006 E500 model compared to the current model? Any information would be nice. I think the 2006 model should be available during October right?

Thanks,

John

The four valve versions of the V8 should be available next year. More power, more fuel efficient. 360 HP 4.6 liter and 410 HP 5.5 liter M273 V8's. I don't know when MBUSA will import W211's with the new V8.

The current V8 is a mature design and the new one may have some early problems. You pay your money and take your choice.
