The Mercedes – Benz E Class Coup and Sedan are as luxurious and performance driven as anything Mercedes-Benz has released in years.  While we have not been privy to a test drive as of yet – hint hint!  We will go with some authorities on the subject and agree on premise alone for the time being.

We provide manufacturer overview as well as Car and Driver and Motor Trend reviews for your perusal.

Motor Trend

If the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan’s styling isn’t
controversial enough for you, meet the E-Class Coupe. While the new coupe, like the CLK it replaces is based on the C-Class, its sheetmetal and engine choices tie it to
the all-new E-Class sedan. The E-Class Coupe is more relaxed and less sporty compared with the 2009 CLK, and along the way it drops out as a competitor for BMW’s unbeatable 3 Series coupe.  For the rest of the story – CLICK HERE!

2010 Mercedes E-class / E350 / E550 Coupe – First Drive Review

Mercedes-Benz aligns its entry-level coupe with its stoic mid-size sedan in both look and feel. Should we play along?

In car-speak, acronyms have their pros and cons. Alphanumeric, gobbledygook names force customers to use the parent company’s name every time they identify a car, casting
a halo effect for the brand. “I drive a Legend,” for example, did less for Acura than, “I drive an Acura.” And so the RL was born.

Now apply that thinking to Mercedes-Benz, which, to be fair, has always used alphanumeric names. But as the company expanded its lineup to some 15 separate nameplates—not
counting the AMG models—it resulted in confusion on the showroom floor and significant marketing challenges in promoting individual models. Things needed to get simpler,
and they have. The replacements for Mercedes’ mid-size CLK-class coupe and cabriolet models will henceforth be identified as part of the E-class family. (The CL coupes
will become part of the S-class lineup.)  For the rest of the story visit  Car and Driver  – CLICK HERE
