@cooldaddyslick , yep i first sat in one at the 2010 New York Auto Show and didnt really like the interior mostly b/c it was gray (i hate gray or black interiors btw). But then i saw a couple at the local dealer and the interiors looked pretty sweet in beige color. The interior defintely looked and felt posh enough for a 70K car (atleast in my opinion).
While those seats look amazing they are one of the most uncomfortable seats I have sat in. Very stiff, barely any cushion. I cant drive more than an hour in them.
@sexyboi142 It is very difficult and time consuming for me to explain to you this in a short message. But, the easiest way for you to realize the difference between a Merc and other cars, is simply to own one. I personally own a 2004 Mercedes CL500. It is relatively an old car. In fact this model started coming out in 2000. Trust me though, the technology in my 2004 CL500 is way more advanced than the best new Acura. From suspension, to breaking tech...etc. That is why Mercs usually weight more
@samov222 You are absolutely right. I have a 1995 Mercedes s420. And i guarantee you that most cars today still haven't caught up th this class leader. I hope Mercedes keeps it up. In my wors the best automobile.
@4MATICbenz Yeah but check out the E550 main competitor the BMW 650i, Seems BMW beat Mercedes to the show room. And your right about that normally aspirated engine like that Merc 6.2L V8 that their replacing.
This car was originally introduced with a 5.5L naturally aspirated V8, which has been CHANGED to a 4.6L twin turbo V8 to compete with the BMW 650i. Mercedes was beaten to the punch by BMW..
@samov222 we had an 04 mercedes C 230. it was nice but became problematic. they are very nice and can be dependable. But our 91 and 97 accord coupe were mor reliable than the merc. We bought an 05 accord sedan to replace the merc and 97 A C. But when the c class coupe hits showrooms. trust me there will be one in my garage
Too bad for you people that bought the 2011 models cause BOTH engines have been discontinued and upgraded for 2012! They sport a better direct injection set up and the E550 will be a bi-turbo V8 version with over 400bhp.
@cooldaddyslick , hmmm.... i honestly wasnt too crazy about the boxy dash and console shape (reminds me too much of the 1990s Mercs), but i still think the cabin has a rich ambiance and nice quality. Defintely wouldnt call it "ugly" lol. In my eyes the exterior of this car is where the styling really shines.
@Truemoderate , I feel bad for the 2011 E350 buyers, but no so much for the E550 buyers. The new bi-turbo V8 only has 20 more hp than the previous NA V8, and not to mention that nothing beats the sound and linear power delivery of a bigger, naturally aspirated V8. The new smaller, forced induced V8 just wont sound or drive the same.
Mitsubishi's Eclipse ad Campanian where they did they had it doing the slalom just looks ridiculous compared to the E class. Not like Mitsubishi was fooling anybody though.
@samov222 seriously.....hmm maybe thats why the honda accord is one of america's safest vehicles reiceving 5stars in almost every section they test it in...honda has class and concept of luxuary would be their acura line which does have decent luxury and very awkward styling. its kinda dumb to think that mercedes is the ish when it has competetors that are better in all ways and even cars that dont compete with them

It's 2021 and I'm thinking about grabbing one of these used. Thanks GME!
It’s a classic you will love it
That car is visually stunning even in video. Just imagine how great it looks in real life!
Even today they’re still beautiful
@@theboogeyman5736 ..mines 10 years old, every time I get in it puts a smile on my face
i've ALWAYS loved the E-Coupes. i want this. right now. where's my dad to write the check?? lol.
im a Cadillac Man but I do admit I like this particular mercedes.. especially the front end
"We're glad to have you with us!" *Bam! Finger point* lol awesome!
Yes John Davis is a great host and narrator for the road tests from this to Lamborghini
I wish I had this car!
My local dealership has a bunch of these and they all have sold stickers on them.
Mercedes hit a home run with this car.

When is the last time the E-Class has been branded the "benchmark" by a major publication in America!?

@sexyboi142
Except the Honda has no safety, class or concept of luxury.
the sedan version of the e class is used as taxis in europe
@4MATICbenz I have one it looks fantastic in real life!
When the hell the AMG version will come out???
IKR? Same.
@@brianlee5649 Older E-Class Coupes and Cabriolets don't have AMG versions
@@zathaca6928 That sucks.

Gee.... I don't know.... perhaps the people that are thinking about paying $75 grand for the car??
Late winter top down driving?? LOL That's funny

Mercedes is the best :)
Agreed, however they really should've made an ///AMG for the C207/A207 E-Class.
Yep!
RAG TOP < LoL
hmmm...the 8th gen honda accord V6 coupe almost has the exact same numbers as the E-class lol.....
