#6444 of 6709 2001 E430 rwd vs 1996 Toyota Camry XLE V6 by jodar96 Apr 26, 2006 (1:32 pm)
Call me crazy, but my 96 Camry with 90K miles drives as nice as 2001 E430 that I bought a month ago. Dimensionally with the exception of MB's longer wheelbase they are the same.   The Camry's V6 at 80-90 mph is as quite as the MB's V8. In 10 years of owning the Camry, the only time it has ever been to the dealer was to have the timing belt replaced at 90K miles. I do all the maintenance myself, and will be doing the same for the MB.   The MB feels solid and tight. The Camry feels soft and floaty. I must admit that MB's tight feel and firm seats make it a better highway cruiser.   Joe

Replying to: merc1 (Apr 06, 2006 10:38 pm) I'm so discouraged. I need a wagon, and would prefer a diesel, but in reading this I see no hope. Doesn't MB realize the last diesel wagons for the US were in 87. Haven't I waited long enough??? My 87 wagon is still going strong, and I bought a gas wagon in the meantime, but come one MB, can't the wagon people move in to the future?    I suppose I have to buy an R320cdi - but that isn't bluetec - right? And it's just not as good looking as an E.    Did I read something about the bluetec engine and having to go to the dealer with some regularity to get filled up/or emptied with ???

Replying to: wopel (Apr 26, 2006 3:52 pm) I think you should let MBUSA know about your situation. I don't think they see enough demand for a diesel wagon in the U.S. It appears that they've even decided not to being a E550 wagon to the U.S. for 2007. The Bluetec as I understand it will be just the E320 Sedan for 2007 which is supposed certified for sales in all 50 states. The R320, ML320 and GL320 are all 45 state models for 2007, but are supposed to be upgraded to the Bluetec system for 2008, but a E320 CDI wagon I don't see ever coming here.   With the Bluetec systems there is a canister of urea that has to be changed at every service visit. The details are still being worked out because states like Cali want to make sure anyone who buys this diesel stays on top of this service because that is what keeps the car compliant.   M Replies to this message: ray_h1 (Apr 27, 2006 10:57 am)

(Those weekend cookout steaks may smell a little funny if the grill isn't properly aired out, though. )

#6450 of 6709 Re: Bye Bye 2006 M35x, Hello E350 [edspider1] by blissful May 02, 2006 (8:42 pm)
Replying to: edspider1 (Apr 20, 2006 5:58 am) I really like the pewter color and debated a lot about that v. the white that I eventually chose. I think the pano roof looks SHARP wtih the white- better than in black. And, surprisingly, my previous experience with white cars has shown that white cars don't look dirty nearly as soon as dark colored cars. I think Pewter probably shows the dirt a tad less, but maybe not really much difference to the casual eye. And, white is $690 less than the pewter! Figured that gave me a little more flexibility in the other option I picked, just for the heck of it: the wood steering wheel. While there is no earthly, practical reason to have that steering wheel, it is drop dead gorgeous and it feels divine! Replies to this message: edspider1 (May 03, 2006 7:23 am)

Replying to: blissful (May 02, 2006 8:42 pm) I got that gorgeous steering wheel, too. I can understand why the pano roof would look good in white or black. White is the best color for not showing dirt. Always has been. Mine is a month old now. No problems, no regrets. I just love this car!
#6452 of 6709 06 E-class tail lights by drv4fun May 03, 2006 (8:55 am)
Hi,    I've had my 06 E-class sedan for almost a year now and noticed the other day another E-class with a different tail lights than mine. It was badgeless so I couldn't tell if it was a 350 or 500. It had a bunch of LED looking lights on the top part of the tail lights. I know for sure mine does not look like that. I've looked at a few sites and could not find it. Is this an AMG thing and can I order it somewhere for my E-350? Anyone know?    TIA Replies to this message: merc1 (May 03, 2006 11:38 pm)

Replying to: drv4fun (May 03, 2006 8:55 am) Well that could have been the new S or a CLS I think, not sure.   M
