New to the forum,however, I spent considerable time learning from the many passionate MBWorld members, thank you. I know the wagons fail to get most people excited, but it fulfills our needs. We should enjoy it or many years.

I am not into wagons but MB makes cool ones surely
Happy driving :y

Congratulations - that is an awesome ride. I love the color combo (my car is also irridium silver). What interior color did you get? I think the wagon looks cool. While my wife would refuse to drive it, if the wagon came with the a more powerful (non-Amg) engine, I would probably seriously consider it.

Call me weird. I think some wagons actually look better than their sedan counterparts. Wifey drives a BMW 530xi "touring" as her daily. I split time between my recently acquired 2012 E350 BT and an '85 911 M491 Targa. I drive her wagon from time to time and don't give it a second thought and we don't even have kids.

And congrats on the new car. ; )

Congrats and welcome! I would suggest you take a look at posts from member "GregTR." He has a wagon and has done many mods and has contributed quite a lot to this forum. Enjoy the new ride.

We picked up our '14 E wagon Monday, and still have an 09 wagon too. And a BMW 08 E61. I happen to like wagons. They are cars. SUVs are closer to trucks. Most people don't need the bulk of a SUV, and wagons drive like cars. My wife agrees. If you want a high end good driving wagon with reasonable load capacity, though, MB is just about the only game in town as BMW does not bring its 5 series wagons to the US. There are rumors that the next generation 5 wagon will come to the US, and that is good because competition is good for the consumer.

We got the black MBtx - with three kids the interior gets a workout. We almost ordered a Dolomite brown with the porcelain/black leather combo but the dealer REALLY worked with me on this one.

Call me weird too.....I agree, I really like the look of the wagon. Plus, it's nice to have something different/unique. We live in San Antonio and you rarely see a wagon of any brand.

I'm also a wagon fan with no kids. Great for hauling stuff, and I too prefer the lines of the wagon to the sedan.

Beautiful car, and great wheels!

I was recently in Germany and it appears that they like wagons a lot more than people in the US. Saw many more BMW, Audi, and MB wagons and comparatively little ML/GL-class vehicles. It is the opposite situation here. Sadly I did not get to drive an MB on the autobahn.

wow looks awesome :)

Not a wagon person myself, but I have to admit the lines on the E wagon looks good compared to others I've seen. Very handsome.

+1 beautiful lines, esp the wagons. Have owned 3 E wagons, and hope to one day own another MB wagon.

Welcome to the wagon club...enjoy! I've had mine for roughly 2 months and couldn't be happier.

pamiboy 04-30-2014 08:47 PM

Cool looking car. Congratulations. Enjoy the drive. I have a very similar sedan and loving every minute with it.

Long3494Qut 04-30-2014 09:05 PM

Great car and congrats! Some of us may not be into wagons but we can all agree that Mercedes makes some good ones! Enjoy it in great health!

Welcome,
just like some others, I find the lines of the E wagon more appealing than the E Sedan.
That's why I own it.
Just wish MB would stuff the diesel in there and maybe a non-AMG small V8 to give wagon lovers some other options.

Agreed - I am a big fan of diesel too. I currently drive a 2001 Ford Excursion diesel and I get 19.4 mpg on the highway in a 9000lb vehicle.

Always wanted a wagon and now wonder why I waited so long to get one.
