Incentive spending on the C-class is creating some significant space between it and the E350 for the time being. I haven't received much word on whether they're started to ease up on E-class production as they prepare for the W213 and I think its too early for that. What I have heard is that Mercedes is trying to preserve the resale value of the E-class though.
