Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe sparkles

Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe
The Mercedes-Benz E350 coupe adds a touch of sleek sophistication to the E-Class family that consists of four models — sedan, coupe, station wagon and convertible.
While the coupe is unmistakably an EClass, it looks fresh and vigorous, and the sloping roofline gives it a distinct personality. Couple the sporty look with a quiet, smooth ride and responsive handling, and you have a four-passenger coupe that is unlike any in its segment.Prices begin at $49,275 for the E350 and $56,325 for the V-8- powered E550. I drove an E350, and its sticker price was $57,960.

On the highway, the E-Class glides softly. It is not so soft that the car feels disconnected from the road — quite the opposite — but rather as if it were riding on perfectly smooth pavement. It was impressively smooth on a bumpy gravel road, which is quite a testament to the shock absorbers that use an internal bypass to soften the ride on normal roads but firm up at higher speeds on twisty roads.
