The 2010 will have newer technologies unavailable to the 09's.

The MY10 221 facelift is expected to include all of the technology which is being introduced on the new E-Class. There may even be some new items in addition to what is expected. I would guess if you want to order a car you will likely have to order a MY10 as the production change is usually mid-year. That being said, there are amazing deals on the MY09s so the choice is between a great deal on the MY09 or wait and order an MY10. You can be assured both are outstanding cars. It has to be driven to believe. Good Luck

That is a pretty incredible deal, IMO. 5,000 miles = $30-50K discount? Nice.

One feature that may be on the 2010 is the new dual-view comand screen. The passenger can be watching a video while the driver is still able to see the nav (or some other application) , both seen by the use of one comand screen.
