| Road Test |
With more ridges and resistors than ever, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the edgiest and most technologically complex mid-size sedan ever produced by the German automaker. It takes more time to become familiar, but once you do, the ninth-generation E-Class’ better performance, higher refinement, and more efficient powertrains show clear progress-even if the styling confuses fans of the softer silhouette of old. This review covers the E-Class V-6 and V-8 gas-engine cars; TheCarConnection.com reviews the 2010 E-Class Coupe separately, and an AMG E63 sedan, a diesel, a wagon, and a convertible are still yet to arrive in North America. Sedans start at $49,475 for the V-6; a V-8 version starts at $57,175. All-wheel drive is offered on both the V-6 and the V-8 sedan, but won’t arrive until later in the year.
