Does anyone know where to get the kit they try to sell you when you get a new Mercedes-Benz? I saw it in the Finance Managers office and it is on the prepay plans that they charge you $599 for the kit to protect the paint from bugs,tar,ect. Can I get this somewhere else for less or a better kit to keep my car top notch? Thanks

Replying to: earonson (Jul 04, 2009 12:34 pm) Regarding your 2010 E-class - good luck. I think nobody will have any discounts right now and payments will be high. But if you wanna be first on the block on a brand new model - you gotta pay for that |

As our in-house expert on MBs, fintail, I'd like to ask you what you think of the 2010 E-Class. Would you buy one, perhaps if not new, then used at some point? Is it significantly better than the (previous generation) '09, in your opinion? Anyone who's test driven the new E-Class is welcome to respond.

Replying to: hpmctorque (Aug 05, 2009 12:36 pm) I have no doubts it is a fine car, but I haven't warmed up to the styling, especially that of the sedan. In my eyes it is way too derivative of Lexus, with some of Acura's pointless edginess thrown in. I know the Germans dream of emulating Japanese reliability, but this isn't a way to it. I don't mind the coupe as much, it is unique, and I like hardtops...but personally I prefer 4 door cars. As was mentioned by someone else here, I too am disappointed that MB has dumbed down the W212 engine lineup for NA, at least in this first year. No diesels (from the promo material I have seen), no CGi - just the same old units. The diesel is probably would I would choose. I've read a bit of positive Euro press for the W212 vs W211, especially interior materials and fit and finish. The W210/211 had their fair share of bugs and related issues, so hopefully that area will see improvement. The only thing we can do is wait and see. W221 and W204 have been pretty solid AFAIK, so maybe they are learning. From what I can see it is an evolution from the W211...it should be better. My only hang-up is the styling, as the W210/211 theme is kind of classic now. I haven't driven one, but I have sat in a few sedans and a coupe. They seem like very nice solid cars. I am going to Germany for a few weeks this fall, and for 9 days of my trip I will have a rental car. I have reserved a car in the class that should have an E350, and I am renting from an implant in a large MB dealer, which pretty much guarantees me a MB product. Unless I get an S/CL upgrade (not uncommon in German fleets), I should have a W212, and I will have time to shape an opinion on how it drives. I wouldn't buy one new - the depreciation is just killer in my eyes, and I would have to stretch to even buy a base model anyway. Would I buy one used? If the cars aren't problematic, and we get a more diverse engine selection...I might. I do like the size of them, and I have some brand loyalty which might not be logical. But, my tastes live at opposite ends of the spectrum for these cars - diesel or AMG.
