Figured that would come up !





the car is small like a C. REally looks like a C. It is built on a modified C-class chasis. It's more C than E.
Yeah indeed, I always naturally refer to it as the "C Coupe" accidentally, just obvious how it's really a C, even if I didn't know the more specific stuff (chassis, parts, etc.). I think the dimensions are identical, or very close to that of the C as well, if I'm not mistaken.

If you notice, the E sedan (550) has airmatic. The coupe doesn't get airmatic. The 350 gets agility control, the same suspension setup as the C, as an option (lol, it's standard on the C class) and the 550 gets dynamic stability, which is probably like agility except it gives you driver control not just automatic. Also, weird thing. On the 550, they coupled heated/ventilated seats on P2 vs on P1 like on the sedans (P1 on coupe gets you only heated). Also, the 350 coupe gets ventilated seats but the sedan doesn't?

Ah, I just noticed on the E sedan the sport package is free. Good one MB. If I had too choose one or the other, I'd definitely go with the sedan. The interior is just quite ahead of the coupes.
