The remainder has been either heavily reworked or is completely new,”

"Mercedes claims next year’s E-class is the biggest step forward for its enduring executive saloon since the hallowed W124 version appeared back in 1985."

It should get Direct-Injection this time around with the new DC-Transmission!

No one here has noticed that the AMG models are evolving to look like the Black-Series versions. It all started with the C63.. The SL63s` entire kit actually came from the SLK55 Black Series. Can we expect this for future AMG models?? What about the F/L S65 and S63 with a Black Series look.
