The New E: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Full Test by Edmunds

Here's the biggest difference between the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 and the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E550: The 2010 costs $5,400 less.

Usually, we save money matters for the end of a Mercedes E-Class road test. First we tell you that it has a perfectly relaxing ride quality and a smooth V8 with an indiscreet amount of torque. Then we describe a down-to-business cabin dominated by leather, wood and COMAND. Finally, though, we have to talk about money, and, well, Benz has a well-earned reputation for pricing its sedans higher than everybody else.

But this time it's different. When the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 goes on sale in June, its $57,175 base price will land it smack in the middle of the V8 midsize luxury sedan class. It's also cheaper than anything else coming out of Germany.

With most of the desired options; I am looking at a price tag not including sales tax, registration and other fees of around $71K. So including everything bottom line is around $84K. I think that is average.

5.3 sec with such big engine... v6 3 liter diesel with 4 matic system has 6.3 sec acceleration on same car. and 7 liter diesel per/100 km milage. i think gasoline engines are far behind their diesel technology and diesel engines conforms euro5 emission standards.

@xsilentrainx , I agree. I actually wrote that comment right before road tests of the CTS-V started appearing. Also the new Infiniti M wasnt even out when I wrote that, nor was the new F10 5-series or Audi A6. A lot has changed since I wrote that comment lol
