E Long Wheel Base





Most likely not coming States side, its still a great idea. Think S class rear room, but for a E class price. A claimed 14 centimeters more leg room over a standard E, that doesn't sound like much, but from the pictures it appears to be a lot more. Of note, the buttons on the rear doors that look like seat adjusters are..but not for the rear seats, they control the front seats. I will assume that is to move the seats forward to give the rear passengers more room, lets just hope theres a lock out, don't need someone moving the drivers seat while they are trying to drive.

Interesting.
From the outside the car doesn't look stretched compared to the cavernous interior shots. Maybe front seats were pulled far forward for those interior pictures?

Yeah I know what you mean, but if you look closely you can tell. The first photo is of the Long Wheel Base, notice the larger rear doors and the much larger rear door window. The second photo is of a Regular Wheel Base for comparison. By the way, the 14 centimeters equates to a more rational number of 5.5 inches for people from the States lol.
