The price goes down as well as the lack in style too, I guess.

Lack of exclusivity as well.

A 6 series is a 5 series 2-door

Or rather should be a 2-door 5-Series. Its a more glammed up GT in this product cycle, but in the next model we'll most likely simply see a 5-Series without the rear doors, much like the 3=Series sedan and coupe.

The new Mercedes E-Class(W212) is not so stylish, but her ergonomics and aerodynamics will set a new standard in the world, I hope. Above all, Japanese(my home country) and American market cannot receive this company's state-of-art 3.5litres V6 direct injection petrol unit for a while, this decision is a kind of laziness of Daimler AG! I feel very sorry about such tepid policy toward Japanese and USA markets! According to the rumour, the Mercedes company is preparing for marketing its E350CGI, the direct-injection version, both in Japan and USA. The direct-injection E350CGI will go on sale in these markets in late this year, so buying current port-injection E350 is unclever way, to my opinion. I used to have the 1992-made Mercedes 260E until last year, she was somewhat lethargic and noisy but her bank vault like body-construction was almost miraculous, compared with my current car, the Lexus IS350 of 2009 model. My 260E was also fast in those era, recording 241km/h(150mph) on chassis dyno. This data is as fast as today's Citroen C6 2.7HDi! The new W212 Mercedes E-Class will become a worthy descendent of legendary W124 260E-300E series, especially in E350CGI and in E320CDI guises.
