E Class wins vs. A6, 5 Series, and GS

PHYBENZ · 03-28-2006, 10:30 AM

The oldest car of the bunch beat 2 Germans and the Japanese! Good Work MB. Pretty impressive that the oldest car beat these three far newer cars. Hopefully the facelift will add even more improvements.

well, it has to happen sometimes. Do you want me to find reviews were E-class lose aganist them?

No problemas.
Autobild have driven them several times before but with another winners. Weird, huh?

Serisoly speaking, Autobild said the E500 won because of the combination V8 and comfort. Autobild also said there are no loosers, it was a matter of taste but him, the tester, prefered the E500.
Also, as usual, the 540i was sportier to drive and was the best buy for the money according to Autobild.

Audi A6 cames second in the test if we take out the financial/value for money points. Obviously A6 is better than 540 but more expensive.

As for facelifted E class coming don't forget that 5 series and A6 will also get a facelift soon.

I agree with Just_Me, Yannis it is definitely about taste. But regardless, congrats to the E for finally winning a comparo.

watchout for the FL

Honestly Artist, the car as of right now is very classy. But looking at the FL spypics, it still looks very classy but sporty as well. I just hope it's not just cosmetics that the MB folks are working on.

The Artist · 03-28-2006, 12:08 PM

nah man..with this one i think they will do much work under the skin to.. it needs some work in that department.. so i think it will turn out gr8..

i hope they keep the elegant look.. its superb

NarutoRamen · 03-28-2006, 12:13 PM

Artist, you already know that the elegance of a benz isn't going anywhere. This car will always be elegance. I just hope this car isn't sassy, I hope it's kind of like Eva Longoria from the desperate housewives...sexy and feisty!
