Thanks for your opinion ILUVMILS, its very helpful.

May I ask your opinion on MB's very weak 4 yr rust warranty? Do you think they will re-evaluate that in the near future to compete with competitors. For most, its not an issue, but im in the snow belt (NY), and I dont want to drop this kind of coin on a car that will rust out in 4 years. Ive seen it happen on a 01 E320. I was hoping for 07, with the new face-lifted body, they might have up'd the ante, but no word yet. I guess only time will tell...

Thanks!
