What they are saying is, you can basically get from the ground up Bentley GT or Aston Martin or Ferrari for that price.

S350 - starting price $65,620.00
Net Power 241 hp @ 5,800 rpm
Net Torque 258 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm
S430 - starting price $77,970.00
Net Power 275 hp @ 5,750 rpm
Net Torque 295 lb-ft @ 3,000 - 4,400 rpm
$12,350.00 less for the 350
34 less hp
37 less tq
I think they should have just lowered the price on the 430, the 430 is slow so now the car is even slower, anyone I know driving a Benz usually gets 10-15k off the price so why the 350
Maybe they will offer a smaller V6 in the E-Class along with a 4cylinder Kompressor model

Did he get the AMG sports package when you mean every option? That alone is about $6K if I remember correctly & the base price of the S500 4matic is in the mid $80K I think.

In europe / asian markets, the smallest engine choice is a 2.8L V6.... the S280, in short

Maybe it's the area Im in but even my neighbors S430 regular whatever was around 70k and he has tons of options and my other neighbors E430 bought 2 years before the new EClass came out she got the car for just above 40k, my aunt has the same E430 paid over 40k.
My uncles 7 Series, car went for 90 something he drove away with a brand new 740 for 70k
