2012 E550 Suspension?
Is it the same as the 2012 E350 suspension which is the same as the 2011 E350 suspension? Just curious if the 2012 E550 will have the same complaints as the 350 gets (way too stiff over rough roads).

In the US, steel springs are standard for the 550 and airmatic is an option. In other markets, airmatic is standard on the 550. Personally, I don't find the springs to be harsh at all but you should drive the cars to get a feel for yourself.
