Anyone waiting for the Estate / Stationwagon?
I popped into my local Mercedes dealer yesterday to enquire about the availability of the new E-class estate, and he informed me the 2 wheel drive version will be order able within the next few months, and the 4WD in September. I will have to go for the 4WD version due to the road conditions in winter here, which means I will likely be waiting for a delivery date of early 2017... not good for an impatient type like me with an increasing demand for more space (Growing family) and a rather full c-class

The W213 E-class is a good-looking car full of new tech and toys, but I still think the current W212 is a winner and a far better looking and classier design. And there's nothing classier than the W212 wagon!

I must admit, I prefer the curvier style of the C / S class so I welcome the prospective updates to the E class... as well as the improvement in technology features which are going to be a huge step

But your original point about the previous generation seems to be true for every change. I remember having a similar reaction when the W211 was released, and I thought I would never part with my W210; but then I had to replace it and ended up with a W211 which eventually grew on me. Then when the W212 was introduced, it was deja-vu.
With the W213, I can't get over the lack of a v6 or v8 option yet, so I'll have to wait...

I received a email from dealer from Mercedes zone representative. Orders for e 400 wagon can be taken by dealer in September with receipt of wagon in December.
