#224 of 441 Re: E losing sales to CLS? - MB doesn't care one lick... [ikramerica] by merc1 Aug 04, 2005 (10:21 pm)
Replying to: ikramerica (Aug 04, 2005 5:52 am) Sounds very interesting, about visiting the factory. Did you hear anything about upcoming changes to the E and/or CLS? I know they'll both get the new V8 from the 2007 S500 for the 2007 model year.   M Replies to this message: ikramerica (Aug 06, 2005 3:19 pm) merc1 (Aug 07, 2005 6:00 am) ikramerica (Aug 12, 2005 7:35 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 04, 2005 10:21 pm) Unfortunately, a visit to the factory does not equal inside information. In fact, we weren't even allowed to take pictures.   And since the tour was not given by a US sales rep, he wouldn't know the specifics of what the US gets. In Europe, the E can be had with so many engines, it would be difficult for him to tell me which exact new engine comes into which model in which market when.   For example, you can get E180, E200, E200K, E220 CDI, E230, E230K, E270 CDI, E280, E320 CDI, E350, E500 and E55 AMG. I may have missed some. I think the CLS is more limited though, to only CLS280, CLS350, CLS500, CLS320 CDI, CLS55 AMG, but there may be another model in there somewhere.   And unfortunately, we didn't get to see the factory where they build the engines. It's a different building. Replies to this message: merc1 (Aug 07, 2005 6:00 am) ikramerica (Aug 12, 2005 7:35 am) merc1 (Aug 18, 2005 1:51 am)

Replying to: ikramerica (Aug 06, 2005 3:19 pm) I'm all for choice, but that is about 2 too many E-Class models, imo. Some of those must be exclusive to German buyers because I've never seen some of those on like the British or Canadian websites. Yep you forgot the CLS420 CDI.   M Replies to this message: ikramerica (Aug 12, 2005 7:35 am) merc1 (Aug 18, 2005 1:51 am)
#227 of 441 Too funny.... by merc1 Aug 12, 2005 (1:43 am)
Mercedes' product testing has now gotten out of hand...:       You can't get away from me you little roadster!   I'll get you yet!   You show off, you know I'm too big and heavy to do that!   Here is looking at you kid.   M

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 07, 2005 6:00 am) Yeah, I think a couple of those E class engine options are only for fleet and business sales, as I saw them on Taxis. And also, they might have been stretched over a couple years, so one was offered 2 years ago, but now another is offered now. With that many, how can you keep up?   For the C class, there were also C160s and C140s. Yikes, a C140 would be underpowered, considering it isn't a light car...   CLS 420CDI. That should be a fast car! Any reviews anywhere for it? I'd love to read one, but finding reviews for cars on the net can be a nightmare. Replies to this message: merc1 (Aug 18, 2005 1:51 am)

Replying to: ikramerica (Aug 12, 2005 7:35 am) I'll have to look around for a review of the CLS420 CDI. There was one from a guy who drove on in Germany. That review was the GCF board, but that whole board is gone, finished, kaput.   What do you think of something like the E55 AMG Wagon? A swiss army knife of a car imo.   M

Replying to: merc1 (Jul 13, 2005 9:32 pm) merc1 (or anyone "in the know"),   I am new to this forum, and glad to have found it. Is it safe to *assume* that the 2007 CLS 500 will have the new 5.5L 382hp V8 engine? If that is true, definitely worth the wait!!   Thanks and regards, Can   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm guessing it will turn up for 2007 with a similarly facelifted E-Class. Both "500" models will no doubt get the new 5.5L 382hp V8. Replies to this message: merc1 (Sep 14, 2005 4:13 am)

Replying to: cannga (Sep 04, 2005 4:23 pm) You are correct, both the E and CLS will get the new 5.5L V8 for 2007. As will the R500, ML500, SL500 and CLK500.   M
