While MSRP has been reduced about 5K, still think it should come with more options, but can be satisfied with what PO1 package offers.
Any good info on the estate? What it will be offered with here? In UK spec, it has almost the headroom of the M (off by 0.1"), which is doable. Do they ever put a sunroof on that platform (which would kill the headroom like in the sedans)? Any word on diesel and 4Matic on that platform?
Why have a car with all of that legroom, if you don't have headroom to match?
However, the luxury model does ride better than the sport model-and the brochure even states this. May be quieter too due to less engine/transmission noise, but don't know.
The sports have 18" wheels vs. 17" for the luxury. 17" wheels ride better.
Sports has low-profile tires and luxury has regular performance tires which ride better.
Luxury has the comfort suspension which rides better than the sports suspension.
BTW, the C/S switch on the console is NOT for the suspension. It's for the transmission and both luxury and sport come with it.
Not sure about the 4matic, but the 2WD sports has different size tires front and back which means you cannot rotate them.
I have the luxury E350. It is not a Lexus, but it rides fairly well for a German car.
But luckily, design change over time, and maybe I'll get lucky on the next gen C and E class and they'll go back the other direction on ground clearance.
If you don't have a back problem or any other major orthopedic problems nothing I say will matter and all power to you getting a C or E class. They are nice snazzy looking vehicles!
