010s are here

Confirmed, the 2010 E's are here. I'm surprised this was not picked up by the board, since I thought I spotted a lone 010 E on the streets of LA last week. Took me a week to check it out at a dealer.

They have the new killer look and the coupe is just drop dead gorgious. Can't wait to see the the 63 in the coupe. CLK 63 BS beware!

Only the 350s are out in the Lauch Version and the lauch version is fully optioned. The seats are retro 80s with the MB familar rib design. I like it, but looks somewhat out of place in the 21st century.

The nav is updated to include real time traffic. About time MB got it.

Any comments from other?

RE: 10's are here

I was driving yesterday and ended up behind a darker charcoal gray 10 E350 on a test drive. It looked much better than the pics, but to my taste lacked the "wow" factor that the W211 or CLS had when they came out. It will however grow on as and be successful.

Maybe for killing sparrows. I dunno, but I saw them in person at a special invite a few weeks ago. Still can't get myself around that design, esp the rear. Interestingly, the majority of comments that evening were the same: "WFT is with the design?" Even one of the MB staff said, "maybe there will be an early facelift."

But the techno and performance upgrades are welcome, for sure.

p.s., the interior looked C class cheap, too.

My "guy" at the dealership said he heard they won't be making a E AMG coupe, I sure hope he is wrong though...

I was refering to the OP's 2nd sentence, 2nd paragraph. Just quoted your post because I did not feel like cut and edit too many words.

Sorry for the confusion.

I saw the coupe and sedan at the dealer yesterday....looked pretty good from the front I must say. The new headlights look pretty good. Seems redundant to say this again, but yeah it looked much better in person than I expected. Very sporty, and these aren't even AMGs.

yeah the new E class hit our showrooms a month ago and they are selling 350 , and 550 only untill now

AMG vbersion will come late this year as they said

if someone wants the whole album of the E63 including engine pictures ( which the changed the intake tubes as to suck air from obove and not the sides ( i think modifiers will increase the space above to make it wider to suck air more)

shot me PM for your e-mail or post it here and i will send it to you.

I had to log into the forum to see your pics, and while I was logging in I was thinking "oh GAWD what in hell can I cook up to say that's nice about a W212?????". Then I saw it was a 211 and was like "WHEW"...



So I can honestly say, that's a gorgeous car!

We've had our demo's for about a week now. Great reviews so far from those who have driven them. We have not heard for sure whether or not the coupe will get the 63 motor, but odds are it will not. The AMG we are told will be out later this year to early 2010.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

W212>W211

Just wait... when you see the new E63 slammed with rims you'll know what I mean. Give it a fair chance ;-)

Did Mercedes hire Bangle for the new E series design?

Hate to say it ... (well not really) but I like the old design better, myself.

I just did the same thing a few weeks ago. For the very same reason. Yeah, no buyer's remorse for me either!! And the leftovers will soon be gone off the lots. No more W211.

I saw a white one this morning on Kanan Dume. Looked like a W212 because it had the Benz pano roof. I looked in the rear view and saw the back of it. Well, maybe it was a Hyundai Sonata. But I think it was the new W212.

Sorry, but they are Asian-car fugly to the core. WTF was MB thinking of? No radical design, no classic design. It's just a 'there it is' design. Asleep at the wheel.

+1, i'm sure it will look nice with all the goodies. But no turbo or supercharger? That's the best part!

They will not be making an AMG version of the coupe. I was told this by the factory rep who I met with at the dealer when they had the unveiling ov the car a few weeks ago. Only the 4 door E will get AMG 63.
