Should be around $59,900, about $2K less than the wagon. Probably will have the same P1,P2,P3 option scheme. Most likely no standard P1, widescreen cluster and air body control as in the E43.

I haven't experienced any roughness from the 4 cylinder. Virtually silent inside the car with the Acoustic Package. The V6 will shine at highway speeds but the 4 cylinder is more than adequate for speeds under 70 mph. My highway mileage is averaging around 34mpg. Overall mpg over 9k miles is 28.4 so far.

Really? Passing cars at 80mph up hill? I'm not that aggressive a driver. So far, the E300 has been more than adequate for my moderate driving style both in suburban roads and on the interstate. I haven't noticed any engine screaming, but I do have the acoustic package installed. Remind me to try to pass a car at 80 mph when I get my E63S. Guaranteed it will be screaming as well and I'll be smiling all of the way. 😀

I was on the highway this morning, and when I tried passing a few 18 wheelers from 50mph to 90mph, the power was instant, and it was so effortless and quiet - and I don't have the acoustic package.

Getting the V6 for the sound of the engine and for the better auto start/stop might be worth it. However, the power argument isn't there for **most** people. the 300 is really good enough. We have just been spoiled.

I like it. its fate that my last attempt to buy a MB was jacked up. I wish they would update the website so I can build an 18 and buy it.

The MBUSA website, especially the "Build" feature is always behind the times and is absolute CRAP compared to other MB sites around the world. They need to fire their website people and get a new crew in there.

Since when is good enough ok for a $60-70,000 Mercedes? The rationalization on this site to accept a 240hp four is mind blowing. I guarantee you there are now tens of thousands of e300 owners out there with massive buyers remorse. Did the Mercedes demographic leap to octogenarians? Really pathetic. Regards. Ned.

IIRC my '59 300SL had about the same power as today's E300.
Back in those days the Euro sports cars had very little power, but could outrun any Detroit iron on a winding road. It was all about handling, not straight line performance.
My favorite, a 1958 Lotus Elite, had less than 100 HP in a 1.2 liter engine. It could out maneuver any Detroit iron as well.

That was then, this is now. I owned a 2000 e320, it did 0-60 in 7.5. I bought a 2001 e55 the following year. Regards. Ned.

So if I was getting my car there, it would be a E220d Dynamic AMG Estate, with the new 1950cc diesel engine. That car costs THB 4,750,000 or about USD 140,000.
So from that perspective, the 1950cc E300 is a pretty damn good value.

MBUSA is generic on what you can get anyway. If you want to order a car you sit down at the store and you do it with DOG , Netstar and a salesmen that knows what he's doing and how the specs works. Some time is good to have advice from people who've seen quite a few specs combination.
