More news on 2013 E-class
Not sure if you all saw this yet:
http://wot.motortrend.com/spied-refr...ic-205247.html
This is news from today!
It is for the wagon, but it says that the new 2013 e350 will have more HP. This confirms what two dealer salesmen said to me. However, some people here have said that is not going to happen and that the updates will be for 2014/2015. We will find out very soon! (My 2013 gets built in 5 weeks)

thanks,
too bad the front end is all covered--hard to tell what it will look like.
Wish the 333 HP for 2013 was true but it seems that's for 2014????
Time will tell.

Any of these changes will come for the U.S 2014 facelift model, NOT the 2013! M-B has ALWAYS revealed the upcoming changes to Europe first, and this will be no exception!
Car Magazine's are as bad at reporting the news as they are at doing fair comparison tests. 2013 facelift MY will be for Europe, and even that's a stretch.

I want that diesel hybrid E Class that they displayed at the Detroit Auto Show last January!!! Merecedes claims 4.1 litres per 100km (about 55 mpg) and 550 ft lbs of torque.But they told me it will be "Europe only".

They had to do something given that the current BMW 550 is half a second quicker than the E550. They should have done this to begin with as the E class V8 has generally always been faster than the 5-series V8 -- at least for straight line acceleration.
In any case I'm glad Mercedes is "fixing" this issue to stay competitive.
Can someone please explain to me though how they can avoid turbo lag with just one turbo charger?

PS: I hope they know what they are doing. I'd hate for the E class to look like a slightly larger C class.

I've said it before and I will repeat it again. The 2013 E class is introduced in Europe in the Spring of 2013, therefore the changes. In North America, this will be introduced in Sept. of 2013 as a 2014 model.
I wish I was wrong because my wife has a 2013 E coupe being built June 19th. Any changes on this car will be very minor software improvements and absolutely nothing else!!!

So here's your confirmation. Thanks to DexterMorgan on German Car Forum:
Edit: Damn! Scans don't show and I don't have time to upload. The Brochure scans show no changes.
