Here in Australia, MB has just announced the launch of wagon versions of the E55 and E500. Our Volvo V70T5 is ready for changeover, and this is indeed good news. Until now, wagons here came no bigger then E320.

My wife is the main driver, but I would also use the car on weekends etc. (I have a C32 as a daily driver.) Any thoughts as to which wagon to go for? I've driven the E55 sedan and liked it a lot, but haven't tried the E500. Would you go the extra, or is the E55 too much for a family wagon?

Well do a test drive of both viechles at the same day, and the decision will come instantly by common sense

Yes, you are probably right. Unlikely to get to drive a wagon before ordering however as first cars arrive mid year and likely will be pre-sold (as usual with new models).

May be too much for a family wagon used for running errands, full time hauling and excessive miles, wear and tear and dings and scractes. Why ruin a performance car with kids and baby seats? You will want to drive it more. May be too harsh for the Wife.
