2017 Mercedes E Class

A 4 cylinder in a E class is just lame, making it the only engine available for now is just puzzling. This whole trend of sticking 4 cylinders in larger luxury cars is awful. When they finally do offer a 6 cylinder in the E class it will surely carry a pretty hefty premium compared to previous 6 cylinders too because they are already charging so much for the 4 cylinder and it is now standard.
I will grant that the tech on turbo 4 cylinder engines is pretty amazing now days, in that they are pretty smooth and turbo lag is minimal. Still if you're used to a powerful naturally aspirated V6, you can tell a difference in idle quality, throttle response is more immediate(might be because of turbo lag or transimssion programming on new cars that always have it in a gear too high to conserve gas), and most importantly they sound a lot nicer.

Wow the stereo upgrade worth every penny!! It cost me 3700 for my B&O and my buddy 4800 on his X5, and it really isn't that good ...
and why they charge for 12'3 display when they should include that in the premium pack 3 :/

That is not the high end burmester surround which is over 4K! This is just the regular one that is included in all the premium packages. Its the mid tier level but its good enough. This one is 650 watts versus 1400 or something. But yes, 16K in options, but I know I wouldn't be happy with a low spec car. I really just wanted all the cool tech.
This is going to replace my 09 C350. It has less than 52K miles and has been a great car with almost zero issues. Still puts a smile on my face when I drive it everyday, especially when I give it some gas. Small enough to easily weave through traffic situations and parking. However, hard to seat the family and friends, plus the lack of tech.
Purposely told my sales rep to find a car that will arrive in December, so the planned production for this car is the second week of October. With the holidays around thanks giving, this should arrive 2nd week of December, just in time for the best of year deals.

Sounds like a rewarding car that will be missed. Hopefully your new E Class provides another exceptional ownership experience

RXSF,
these active multicontour seats will be amazing.
I have them on my E350, it's really comfort when you drive long distance, and feel confident when you make sharp turn.
Your option is really good.
Congratulations.
