The 500,000th E-Class limousine just rolled off the line in Stuttgart.

It's an E350 4MATIC in calcite white for a convinced customer in the USA.

 

[Merc1]

And its been out since the 2010 model year, thats pretty good I think, especially if just the sedan count.

It's outselling the 5 series, respectively.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

It's outselling the 5 series, respectively.

The situation in the US is vague because the coupe and cabriolet sales have been lumped in with the sedan. Which is just stupid.

Globally I'm pretty sure the E is being outsold by the 5-er and maybe even the A6.

I feel this vehicle will really hit it's stride come facelift time.

 

[K-A]

Who cares about sales anyway. In the U.S, the E statistically blows the newer 5er out, and I'm sure that has to include Sedans leading Sedans.

If the facelift hits its stride more than the current one out here, then the E will be as prevalent as a Camry (no joke). I wouldn't mind if sales cool off, as a selfish owner.

W212 sedan rules!!! Best!!! Biggest interior space! Big headroom! Best for kids who like the airy feel!

Btw, I envy you guys! How much do you pay for a w212 with AMG kit pano roof avant-garde interior and 7g transmission?

It cost SGD240k in Singapore! I think it's just cost less than half over at yourside!

I don't even want to tell what what I got mine for, as it isn't fair (with American prices, and then discounts on top of that, lol).

That half a mil figure doesn't include the coupe and convertible Es.

Man..i really hate you sometimes..haha.

I actually don't at all! I just happened to Lease the car, and now am stuck with the decision of paying what will probably be a $6+K markup from the average retail value on my car in 2 years, if I decide to purchase it after the Lease.

How do you know that to be the case?

Also, there are other options.

I just mean that my cars buyout will be $38K (barring they don't negotiate off of that).

Chances are, if I want to stay with an E-Class when my Lease is up, I'm gonna buy my own (otherwise as much as I love the car, will push myself to experience something else as I've already had two chances (two W212's) to actually purchase out my E's. Therefore I'll probably have to pay a nice markup to keep my own car, which is where the decision lies. I would prefer to pay one on my own car rather than get a Used one (someone else's) for cheaper. The best bet would be in this case, if I wanted to do that, is go to a Dealer and let them purchase it, CPO it, and negotiate a deal with them right away and take it back instantly.

.... Or, just sell it to Gian.

 

[Gianclaudio]

.... Or, just give it as a present to Gian.

Now, seriously, I'm going to buy that car. I'm completely in love with it.

K-A w212 mods are the nicest in the whole of Internet imAges on w212!

Buy it!!!!

 

[Gianclaudio]

I will

 

[Vincemerz]

Btw, which has the best drive feel in e class w212? The sedan , coupe or cabriolet?

 

[K-A]

My car is very flattered by your nice comments guys! It will have to stay within the "family", all my hard work can't go to waste, i.e a Used Car bargain shopper who will ransack it to hell! It deserves better!

Vince: Thank you, and as for which drives the best, IMO the Sedan due to it being on a longer wheelbase and larger platform. The Coupe/Cabs drive closer to C-Class nimbleness and are definitely sportier/tighter feeling than the Sedan. The Sedan retains the authentic "E-Class" ride of more luxury and comfort, yet still controlled and firm to levels. The Sedan has that more purposeful drive, IMO.

 

[Mr. M]

I have some thoughts here about the 5-speed 2011 E250 CGI, if anyone's interested: Why smoothness isn’t all goodness | perfectsteer

To be completely honest, the E didn't live up to expectations. I thought that even the near-base model should at least be very good, but the gearbox and turbo engine combination is truly appalling!

 

[klier]

Chopard edition? Rolex edition? Either way, looks good. E class is getting better over time I find, like a great red wine

Aaah, see now...Zenith edition apparently

 

[fortuner]

Oh wow what a class car i agree klier evertytime you look its better...I am getting simalar feeling with my M class..
