The wife's new sled
Picked up my wife's '12 E350 the other day, a great vehicle! Tenorite grey, 4matic, amg trim, wheels. 14kmi it's like new inside and out, 1.74% MB financing, three years MB warranty plus an extended, three years MB service, with valet service to/from my wife's office ( a major plus).
Such a great vehicle for her, and stunning inside and out. She was pressured to trade her ML for a prius at the non-profit she was in before. Now in healthcare she was getting crap about the prius! she was eager to get back to a Mercedes. This morning she drove off in 8 inches of snow, and wrote from her office "Great in the snow, and love my bluetooth!"(bluetooth in the prius was a nightmare(edit: everything but mileage was a nightmare in the prius!).
Here's a blurry picture that shows her E class still shivers outside while my CLK63 cabrio is california dreaming under cover in the messy garage.

the hardest part of going from a MB to a prius is, obviously, the build quality...the doors buzz like tin cans when you shut them. the dash is the lightest gauge plastic, the dash has three screens plus a hud and of course to get to highway speed you have make the thing whine like a dentists drill. (but again ...50mpg to the ML's 16mpg on premium!)
she shut the door on the E for the first time and said "ahhhh that's the sound"
