Nothing (yet)
This car is one of the best European cars out there. I always loved the recent look of the Mercedes E-class oval headlamps. They make the car look very foreign. This car is very luxurious in my opinion. I test drove an Infiniti M35x, and a Lexus GS300 AWD, and none road as silky smoothe as my E350 4MATIC. It has about 270 hp and can launch you to 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. Not only does it have sports car performance, but it has every comfort option (I purchased it with a premium package). This included options such as DVD Navigation, multi contour seats, heated/ventilated seats, parktronic parking assistance, distronic cruise control, and BOSE premium sound. This is a big improvement from my 2001 E320 4MATIC. This handles better, is faster, and has much more room. The 7-speed shiftable automatic transmission is perfect when aggressive driving is in your mood, and it the adjustable supension helps make your ride perfect wherever your driving whether it be in the mountains, around town, or on an open highway.
7-speed box on an E350 4-matic? How did you manage to get that option? Was it a special conversion? The E class chassis, even in its recently revamped form for the 2007 model, does not have enough room for the new 7-speed box AND the 4wd transmission gear. The 4-matics all have the old Merc 5-speed box. Only the 2-wheel drive E class versions have the 7-speed box. The new Merc C class and G class have 4-matic with
the wonderful new 7-speed gearbox.
If this was available I would buy it tomorrow as its exactly what I have been waiting for. Sadly, I don't think it will be generally available till the new E-class, coming in 2009 or 2010.
