Interesting reversal of pricing strategy for MB...adding content while reducing option pricing. Should work wonders for the E. I note that they dropped the E500/550 wagon for '07. Funny, I saw a good number on the streets here in NYC. Probably didn't sell well elsewhere (no surprise.)

Yeah I'm surprised that they would drop the E500/550 wagon too. Just like you've I've seen plenty of them in and around the Chicago area. On MBWorld.org they're saying that the E550 and E63 wagons will be sold here so we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Yes this new strategy for the E should give it the lead over the 5-Series in sales again.

I would not be surprised to see MB rationalize prices on several lines to address value/content and make the vehicles more competitive vs. the competition and remove some of the intrabrand issues. Somewhere the marketing has gone awry, especially with the R class.

Well that will be a good thing. If they hold the price on the 2007 E while adding more standard equipment it will only help. I think the Luxury and Sport models will have the same base price too...someone in Jersey is finally getting a clue about pricing.

The 2007 SL models go on sale this Saturday it seems. Larger volume dealers should already have them. The GL450 is at dealers now for test drives and it goes on sale officially next week, Wed the 19th I think.
 
The 07' E-Class lands in July.
 
The new CL is to be shown next month.
 
Autospies has their pic gallery up for the NY auto show, the R320 CDI is there so I guess it will really arrive this fall.

ML diesel by qbrozen

I hadn't caught this info before, so I was pretty excited to read at the Mercedes booth at the NY auto show today that the ML320 CDI is coming.
 
So, any info or projections on gas mileage? I'm thinking a combined average around 26-27 would be real nice to see on a luxo SUV like this.

Everything I've seen says at 28-30 MPG combined.

even better!
 
although, considering the ML350 takes about a 5mpg hit compared to the E350, and the E320 cdi gets 27/37 .... well, let's say that I'm certainly not counting on 30 in the diesel ML.
 
Still, at 22/32, it would do GREAT on the highway and even that city number rivals my highway number in my current sedan.

Worldcarfans (in the Germancar section) has a timeline for upcoming Mercedes 2007 (in the U.S.) model introductions.
 
Article
 
In short:
 
USA: ML63 AMG 4MATIC July 2006
USA: CLS550 September 2006
USA: CLK63 AMG Cabriolet September 2006
USA: GL450 4Matic May 2006
USA: E-Class July 2006
USA: R320 CDI October 2005 und R63 AMG 4MATIC September 2006
 
It appears that the R500 and ML500 keep the ancient SOHC 5L V8! Don't get that at all. It also mentions "further" CLK models, read CLK550.
