Cost: $15K.

That makes it no more expensive than a new E350 4-Matic.

yeah.

i dunno. if i had to choose between a tweaked 5cylinder turbo and the E500, i'd still go with the n/a engine. they are going to offer the e500 4matic, aren' they? e550, i suppose.

Nope. It's either an E350 or the E55 AMG. Unless you go CPO on an E500 wagon.
