I had the previous C238 and loved it. The CLE is a C-class first and foremost, not an E. I hope she enjoys it.

Ugh, that's not so good ... we'll decide once it arrives and experience it.

Although it isn't fully an E-Class it comes pretty close, forum members here shared impressions on it and it is generally positive. The reviews of CLE is also out and the reviewers' impressions are also positive.

I had a C300 loaner and thought it was excellent. Interior was nice with some hard plastics which are understandable. I wouldn’t worry about it.

As for French double stitching, if it makes you feel better my $140,000 S580 with the exclusive Napa interior also has no French stitching. It’s a design choice.

Wait what... the W222 had it though, no?

Some, on the dash. Not the seats. The c300 had a strip of French stitching across the dash
