Oh yes, the XF would surely get my money over the E-Class. Only problem is I like the E-class interior far better then the XF. If I could put the E-class interior in the XF...it would be on point. Then again, the glorious CLS will return soon giving me the XF overall shape and the E-class engineering/interior/build quality.

Yep I get you on this. I too like the E's interior better than the XF's, but not by much. My problem with the XF is those flat arse seats. M

| Ok....try as I might...I simply don't care for the W212 E-Class. The design is simply too busy, too fussy, and the side profile is all wrong. It slopes down too much as your eyes go from rear to front. Oh well I guess I'll have to find a mint 2007-2009 W211 in a year or so. Oh well it it will be just like with the W210, had to admire the car for years, but not enough to actually want one. For me the facelifted W211 (2007-2009) is where its at for E-Classes. The only hope for the E-Class at all is seeing the E63 AMG in person and the E550 Coupe. I doubt I'll be bowled over. Oh well. Maybe a nice used W221 S550 w/AMG pack instead. M

| Actually when i saw the official pictures or photos in internet, i don't really like it, cause the design is too boxy, conservative, and boring! But last week i saw it in person at the dealer and WOW! It really have a very good design especially front end with those LED lights! Very modern with classic touch! I like it especially in black colour, very elegan and nice looking car. Btw, this car is photogenic from 3/4 front view at those photos. |

| Fantastic car. This is what MB had in mind when they talked about "a wolf in a sheep's clothes". Probably my favourite MB!

| That E63 has the most boring interior combination ever. The wood trim just doesn't work with the AMG versions.

| Love the E's interior, but the exterior is just not fully correct. The wheels and the sloping downward of the design just isn't right. M
