is the E350 replacing the E320? It would make sense.

I hope someone from MB is reading this because I'm really disappointed the designers couldn't improve the look of this car from the back. They had and still do have an original design front end, now it's time to impress all those who follow the E-350.

The 350 is a remarkably quick engine, with better figures than the new 3.0 out of BMW. Many question why there is still a need for the 500 (about to change to the new 480 and 550 motors) while this engine is on the market. But the 320 was no slouch. It had been around for a while and it’s time for a change. I don’t think Mercedes has to keep up with the competition… Really, I find it the other way around. Usually they’re the first ones to step it up in the engine department. I happen to like this color interior the best.. Why would anyone want black? Nor do I like wood on the steering wheel, leather provides much better grip.
