Very low, IMHO. I was offered 8% immediately on a new custom ordered 2020 in July of last year (before they were out), and ended up getting 12% at another dealer.

Well, I sort of thought this might happen, but it’s still a shock: “Luxury exterior styling package no longer available.” Well, MB can kiss my ***! This is the final nail in the coffin for our E Class buying spree. If they can’t offer a luxury sedan that LOOKS like a luxury sedan, rather than a SPORTS sedan, we are no longer an E Class customer. What a shame. I’ll bet a Luxury version will be available in Germany. How sad.

I've owned 4 generations of the E and every one was/is a high end utility vehicle. That is why I moved away from the S. The E is rugged and maneuverable in tight quarters. Over 11 years I put more than 600,000 miles on my W123 with no major repairs; just tires, brakes, lubrication and 1 battery.

Yes, in Germany, E’s have been used as taxis for decades. Four cylinder diesels, with bare bones interiors, built by the factory SPECIFICALLY as taxis. E Class cars & wagons destined for the USA have been outfitted as luxury vehicles for many years now. You and I will have to agree to disagree on this point.

NOPE UA 549 - your are completely wrong.
This is my second E class with MBTex. Prior to this vehicle all my cars had leather.
Having driven now 5 years, two cars with MBTex, I find it superior to leather in all ways: Soft in winter, cool in summer, easy to clean, wears better and we don't have to kill cows!
I have a reservation on the new Ford Mustang First Edition: no leather is offered as an option. All seats are "vegan". This is the way cars will be so better get used to it!

JTK, I don't have an ethical problem with leather seats, but clearly some folks do and are entitled to their opinion. I find the leather to be more pleasing to the touch, but that is one person's opinion and nothing more. I noted a while back that Thomas on Autogefuhl always makes a negative remark about using leather for seats. And I still like NY Strips.
