wow that is a 1st that a car cost less.
I wish BMW cars will happen like this.

the base model in the US with a V6 engine and rear-wheel-drive ? currently lists for $54,075, Mercedes-Benz USA is pricing its successor at $49,475, including destination charges, representing a price drop of $4,600. The 2010 E350 goes on sale in late June next month, and will be followed by the market roll-outs of several other variants. The V8-powered E550 commands a $57,175 list price, and 4Matic all-wheel-drive can be added to either model for a $2,500 premium starting with September orders. The new E63 AMG high-performance version will follow in November, with the 50-state clean diesel E350 Bluetec (Mercedes has dropped the BlueMOTION moniker) coming next March, followed by the wagon bodystyle in June 2010. With the existing CLK replaced by the new E-Class Coupe also next month, pricing doesn't drop significantly ($48,975 for the CLK vs. $48,925 for the new E coupe), but the outgoing model was ostensibly positioned between the C and E-Class sedan ranges, and moves up with the integration of the coupe into the new E-Class sedan range. The E550 coupe gets a list price of $55,525, with convertible versions arriving next spring. No new AMG coupe is planned.

 

Even with a major price drop (which might make them attractive to purchase), the new E's lease deals, if they follow the typical MB practice of low residuals and/or sky-high money factors, will almost certainly be hundreds of dollars more per month.

I'm a little surprised that MB kept the same engine in the E550. The F10's 550's new TT V8 will make it considerably faster than the new MB E550. I did not think that MB would cede the position of having the highest bhp in the class but that it exactly what it is doing. The new E63 is also going to be less powerful than the forthcoming F10 M5. Again, surprising to me.

 

In Sweden the new E220Cdi costs less than its predecessor.

In Finland it costs more.

Over here we don't dream, we only pay
