I hope this is the gateway to North America getting other FAST wagons.
I'd love a B7 RS4 Avant! |

I am with Koala. That E class is like an imperial destroyer.

Price?
The one thing that bugs me about this wagon is that there is no 4matic version. Doesn't mean I still wouldn't drive the **** out of it Also Last edited by Rodeoflipper1818; 05-15-2011 at 06:26 PM. |

Too bad it's a Mercedes. Living in Long Island, land of the snooty image, has totally and completely soured me on BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Land Rover.

That was a pretty cool video.
They need to make more obscure X vs. Y videos. |

I just had an awesome mental image of that complete with out-loud phaser sound effects.
I'd have to drive both the Caddy and the Benz, but I keep hearing that the Caddy's Recaros suck which is hard to believe. The manual in the Caddy is a big plus. I'd have to black or smoke out all the chrome. |

I wouldn't mind an older E-class AMG. Because, at least, the larger German luxo cars are driven by people here who aren't mentally challenged. |

My mom has the non-AMG version (E350) and it feels and sounds like one too when you drive it!
The steering feels a bit dead and still hard to get used to with the speed sensitive steering and the car feels HUGE! Longer than the MLs she used to own. But the seating positiion is great, the hood seems to extend forever and the acceleration is pretty weird to describe. Different from her previous MBs. It's dead silent until you hit the gas and there seems to be a tiny, TINY delay in response before it feels like you're being gradually thrown off a waterfall and this is just a V6! Odd feeling, it's fast but not fast feeling? I dunno. but I love the car. So many buttons to play with too, makes me feel like a kid again sitting in a "spaceship" |

My buddy had records of his E63 AMG being at the dealership 16 times in 6 months for services and repairs... He sold it for an FX50, hahaha.
I like the performance wagon image but if its constantly causing headaches Merc's going to need to go back to the drawing board. |

The Caddy's Recaro seats complaint is they are a bit too stiff for everyday driving. I don't know if the term suck would be the definition of it, unless you're looking at the cost of the option |

I had an extended test drive in a W212 Bluetec just before the end of last year; I really liked the drivetrain, driving dynamics weren't what I'm used to (but could get used to) but all the electronica makes me fearful. Too bad we can't get the decontented German taxi version. |

Not even, really. I'd be happy with a decontented E350 Bluetec. The first M-B I ever drove was the now cult favorite W123 300TD wagon. It made a great impression on me even if it was bog slow anywhere it couldn't get up a head of steam. If I lived somewhere where the roads weren't salted and I could find one with <200K miles and not hippied up I'd seriously consider buying one for a DD. |
