At last... the 500CE. Why didn't they put that 5 litre into W124?
Still, I'm more than happy that finally E-class coupe is back and with the right engine to boot.
You've obviously never seen the slightly flared wheelarches of a 500E?Still, I'm more than happy that finally E-class coupe is back and with the right engine to boot.
In LHD only? Didn't Porsche have sort of input in this?

Looks absouetely stunning, as with all Mercs the design works best in black. Performance sounds pretty breathtaking, really nice car judgding by the review. The intial press photos simply didnt do it justice.
I'm slightly confused as to what market segment this car is aimed at, since its badged as an E-Class but its a W204 C-Class underneath.

Or like the latest Audi A6 perhaps?gumsie said:

how much will it be and I wish these road tests would show shots of the rear seats so I can see if my 4 and 6 yr old children would fit in the back.
Ah yes, poor form on my part there, Jonny - don't have a pic of rear seats, but a 4 and 6 year old should fit in - i'm not exactly tall at 5' 8" and a fag paper, but I would cope for medium-length journeys.Price-wise, the 500 sport is £48,360 OTR
Are you the same Riggers of Autocar fame?
So there won't be a direct replacement for the W209 CLK, just this E-based coupe?
Like the exterior, not so keen on the interior (or at least the one shown in these shots) as it looks far too angular. Also a bit too Audi looking (inside) which is fine in an Audi but not a Merc! Really hope quality standards have risen since my W209 CLK was produced!
The W209 was a graceful looking thing but the underlying quality of build/paint was dreadful. Sold mine back to MB after 11 months as I was that dissapointed (body rust, electrical & trim problems). A neighbour has just bought a delivery milage 320cdi CLK and that suffered a blown alternator within a week of delivery..
