glad I didnt wait on the 2010 - doesnt appear to be much difference other than fog lights and redesigned grill. Thought NY auto show press release mentioned interior improvements including updated dash and seating...

They are, of course, no longer "fog lights."

They're daytime running lights.

Too bad.

Glad we got an '09...not a big fan of the visual "upgrades", and ADS on the diesel appears to have been for one year only.

But really would have liked to get ventilated seats and heated rear seats (with full leather) as available on the 2010 models. Also like the LED taillights...

hought NY auto show press release mentioned interior improvements including updated dash and seating...
Updated dash & COMAND came out in MY '09. Didn't see any other interior differences except for the ventilated seats option

I like the way the tailpipes are integrated with the chrome undercover - it looks great.

I have a real hard time with the front fog lights/running lights, etc. Don't get the front LED look or the double light look. It is too busy - I think MB did same to the front of the new E class.

My '09 has ventilated and heated with full leather. Maybe it's only on the 550?

Nice looking....and like SOME of the improvements....BUT my 07 450 with the off-road package will go places I need to go in weather that is not nice that the new ones would find less than desirable! Too bad..... I told my dealer I've never had a better combination of luxury and capability...I'll keep it till it has "grey hair" and unless MB brings back some of those options then I won't be buying another one!
