Pulled the trigger on a SWB 350 BlueTec AMG Line today in Iridium Silver.
Test drove it a couple of days ago and it blew me away. Lovely car.

I wish Canada had the 350. When I ordered the 2015 version that I have now, they only had either 550 or the 63. They have just released the 400 now.

How does the 350 compare to the 550? Did you compare it?

The 500, which we have here in the UK is a beautiful machine, no doubt about that but factoring in the running costs in the UK, my type of usage and the SWB version, which they no longer produce over here, I went with the diesel option.
