Numb and boring an old style S80 is, but for microrepair and others living in New England who don't want AWD the S80 with its FWD is an alternative. Maybe the only FWD semi-lux car?

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY PLANNED CHANGES FOR THE 2008 E CLASS. I WAS LOOKING TO PURCHASE A 2007 E 350 4 MATIC AND I AM CONTEMPLATING IF I SHOULD WAIT FOR THE 2008?

Production Begins On 08 E Class by jimm5

I’m told that production begins on the 08 E Class the week of June 10.
 
Another 08 buyer told me that his dealer said production begins June 1. In any event, it looks like it will be VERY soon now.
 
BUT, I have asked and asked and I can’t find out ANYTHING about ANY changes. Please post as soon as you hear anything!

I curently own a 2003 E500 and I was looking to purchase or lease an 08 E350 but a couple of things troubled me when comparing it to my E500.
1-The seats in the 350 are MB tex which is not leather, leather is an extra option.
2-350 feels under powered, which is what I hoped they would correct for 2008 (BMW has 535 with 300 hp turbo)
3-The suspension in the E500 is the airmatic and this option is not even available in the E350, it is a good option to have in my opinion.
4-I'm thinking about ordering the E550 now, but I might be better off with E350 because of the gas prices.
 
Anyway goodluck with your car sounds like a nice vehicle. Any reason why you didnt get the 4matic?

I considered the 550 when I decided on the 350 Sport. I have a C6 vette and
DO like power. However, I drove a 350 Sport and was surprised that it has
PLENTY of power!
 
I think one thing that helps the instant power is its smooth and well geared
7 speed tranny.
 
One dealer told me that they aren’t selling many 550s. Of course they’re
9,000 more, so that probably isn’t a big surprise. Gas mileage, TODAY, is
quite important. I think that will effect resale, too.

Mine is scheduled for building on June 28. The dealer expects it to be in Indianapolis by about the middle of July.

That’s Great! I “think” mine is scheduled for June 10 build. But, my dealer is pissing me off in that he’s not telling me much of anything.
 
Have you heard about any changes for 08? I wish they’d put in a new Nav .. like Lesus has.

I recently purchased a 2007 E350 4Matic. It has the MB Tex seats. I think they are vinyl but you would swear they are leather. My other car has 320hp. The E350 feels just as fast. If you haven't taken the E350 for a test drive please do as I think your issues will resolve themselves.
