Got to see the new 2007 yesterday

The engineers at the plant did a test run on the 2007 W251. It was green with buckskin interior. I noticed the front seats where air conditioned but I had to ask one of the engineers what was up with the seats and he told me that it would be an option for 2007. All in all it looked good.

Did it have the new 5.5liter V8? Were there any cosmetic changes to the interior or exterior?

Cdi?

What's the word as to when the CDI will be an option for the US? We like the R but won't buy one because of the poor fuel economy.

Was it a Euro model SWB or a true 2007 US LWB model? What engine?

Well to tell you the truth I didn’t really look that close at it. There where engineers and bosses standing everywhere. There was another one that came down the line today but it looked more like a base model. It didn’t have the air conditioned seats or the dvd screen in the head rest. When I get to look at it only the body is there. It is a almost complete except for the interior mirrors and little things like that. If another one comes down the line tomorrow I’ll try and stop and get a good look inside of it for you. If you have any questions about the interior let me know and I’ll look for that aswell.

Sorry yes it was a long wheel base. I made a mistake on my first post is was a V251 not the W251.

Thanks...most people do not know it is a V251 in the US because it is LWB.
