I'm not sure about the AMG models

However, I do know about the price of the E300 AMG SPORT saloon



Philippine Retail Price = PHP 5,680,000

and according to xe.com/ucc, the American Dollar equivalent puts it at USD$127,445.31

Absoluetly! I mentioned earlier maybe not this thread, but the LED lighting really gives the car presence in darker environments. Gives back that "quad" look that the E-Class lost with it's facelift

Thanks for the post. I'm considering this car. The main reason is I want to try something new. My biggest fear is reliability. I don't plan to keep it long. Maybe 3 years or so. I feel I should be OK. But I did read some complaints about the tranny on mb forums. Any thoughts from CL? Thanks.

If you're only going to keep it for a short period, might as well lease it

It'll surely be fine for 3 years. The transmission can act dumb sometimes but its not failure prone. Honestly Mercedes never really got the 7G-tronic right- ZF's 6HP (although unreliable) and 8HP designs perform better.

With that said though, when it comes to E-class, I would want to GO ALL OUT.

Never a fan of the current E class, but I'd take this over any mid-sized SUV ...
