Mercedes-Benz will officially reveal its new E-Class later this year. But the German brand has revealed some teaser images and bits of information to create anticipation.

Lol, Glad to see they're sticking with the 'problematic' air suspension and making it more complicated. What could possibly go wrong?
And I could really give a **** less about Greta the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Warrior and the plug in bull****. Give me a real engine.

2018 Accord Touring
What Brand has the best driver assist features?
I’m not a troll. Just my candid opinions/questions.
First MB was 1957 Gullwing purchased 1961 from factory rep with 12,000 miles for $3,850.
Owned many E and S Class sedans beginning 1974.
Bought son uglya$$ AMG450 coupe and daughter GLS. So, I’m not anti MB.
My interest is the latest driver assist tech (former F-105 fighter pilot, digs whistles and bells) from ANY brand.
Question: will the E sedan/wagon have identical GLE driver assists/MBUX or will there be better and or more?
One of the car mags rated GLE 4th in class behind Porsche, BMW, and ??. They knocked MBUX and inline 6 not as impressive as BMW inline 6. (Got “burned” on two BMW Bavaria versions and will never buy another BMW product)
Regarding reduced engine maintenance cost for MB inline 6; note what the 3-4 year prepaid maintenance package costs for GLE inline 6.
2-yr 10,000 $1200, 3-yr 20,000 $1640, 4-yr 40,000 $2250
I’m eager to experience/read about “Sailing” (coasting) and engine shutdown feature in certain circumstances for fuel economy. I have not yet joined the “e” brigade.
I WILL purchase either a Genesis GV80 SUV or an E Class wagon by end of 2020. Not at SUV guy but love their driver assist technology and the price doesn’t hurt either (free 3-year maint).
Neither 2021 GV80 or 2021 E Class driver assist details have been fully revealed but I sense they will be comparable.
The one detail, assuming most other details are similar, is the GV80 displays a camera view of the adjacent lane in the instrument cluster when turn signal is on. That is a big jump from having a warning light illuminate in your side mirrors.
Specific items of interest between these two vehicles:
1. What is the minimum speed for lane tracking to work?
2. What is the speed range for Auto-Stop-Go to work?

Bag the air suspension bags
Will not buy another air suspension MB, had a GL, the bags are only good for a little over 100k, and then $$$ replacements. Does not appreciably make ride better, and even if it did, not worth the headache and replacement cost. MB, if you put that on your $$$ vehicles, how about they actually work?
