Cool ML vs E Wagon?

Hi, anybody here that was seriously considering new E350 Wagon and opted for new ML instead?

After two MLs, I'm wanting to try an E Wagon but the new ML is very tempting.
It's made worse as no E Wagons are available to look at/test drive

The E Wagon 27 mpg highway rating is attractive but BlueTec ML I test drove in Diamond White was sweet ride!

Love to hear what others think about the two choices.

If I was in Europe, I would buy the wagon. Here in NA, SUVs suit the lifestyle better, IMHO.

I would prefer the wagon if they had an option that raised the vehicle a foot when parked for getting in and out. Love the seat height on the ML because at 6'3" I slid right in without ducking and stooping.

I grew up with wagons and still love them. That AMG E63 Wagon is an amazing vehicle.

Love the E wagon; I think it's got nicer lines than the sedan. I just wish it was available as a diesel 4MATIC.
