Finally, it's here!!!

My wife's 2013 E350 Coupe 4Matic landed in Halifax July 11th and it took until yesterday to find it's way to Ottawa,ON. I went to look at it and I could not see a single thing different in the exterior or interior from the 2012 model. I am told the comand screen graphics and the speedometer display are different. It's all software changes.
Of course, my wife will find a difference in the power because of DFI, electric power steering and less weight. This car is replacing her 2010 E350 (W212) 4Matic.
At first glance the coupe has a superior interior with leather two tone multi contour seats. Her present car has vinyl seats. All that can be said about the car is that it looks sportier and that was what she was looking for. Would I want this car.........no.

W212 FL
Congrats, she is already used to beauty of the E Class then
Being two doors A207 and C207s look sportier namely when you pot AMG package . I sat in E Coupe when I went to see my car in the dealership . I like A207 but I love W212 .
A207 and C 207 needs leather covered dash and more thicker trim in my point of view
I am same here with you , I prefer W212 over anything else but if I ever wanted a coupe I would pick up A207 no matter what

E350 Coupe
Petee1997...I think the the coupe may surprise you. Not sure if the 4Matics have the comfort and sport settings but, if they do and after it's broken in. Take it out on some twisty roads and throw it around a bit. You may find it to be a lot of fun.
