2007 R320 CDI
R or E CDI
I have a pending deal for a new R CDI but wanted to get a poll of opinions on whether you think I should keep the E with I6 CDI engine vs. switching to the R with V6 CDI engine. I know there are pros and cons to both decisions for me but wanted to just get a general feeling about what others think.
Current 06 E has: Premium Pkg, Wood Steering Whl, Split/Fold Rear Seat, Xenon Lights, Parktronic, Voice Activated & Hands Free Comm/Phone System, Heated Fr. Seats, Sirius Sat.
07 R 320 CDI is coming with P2 Pkg, Heated Fr. Seats.
For those who know the differences in these two vehicles, I would appreciate your opinions.

I never liked my 03' E500. I really like my wife's 06'R500. Pros for the R would be size, smooth ride, extra seats. I'm out of the w211 loop but my car had electronic brakes and I hated them. Even though the style is new and sometimes critisized, we get lots of looks and thumbs up on the R. An E is like a Camry in our neighborhood.

If you think selling/unloading the E right now is hard, it will be much worse if you buy an R now and not want to keep it for few years.
BTW, what's pending on the R? many options? below invoice? if the car is a stock model (on the lot or easy trade), you can work to your advantage. I think the 2.9% financing is available. Good luck!

We looked at the E-class but the R-class has so much more room - amazing.
We keep the back 2 down for our dog and there's still loads of room. Way, way more than our Jeep Grand Cherokee which we replaced.
However, still having problems getting both the SL and R350 in the garage!
