2008 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS STYLING | [7 out of 10] Edmunds: "Sleek and dignified design inside and out" Kelley Blue Book: "easy choice for those that prefer making a more stately arrival" Cars.com: "the E-Class is due for an update, and it shows inside" The 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class retains its distinguishing design inside and out: sleek and sophisticated to some, while stately and a little stuffy to others. Various reviews read by TheCarConnection.com have good opinions of Mercedes-Benz ' 2008 E-Class design. The standard E-Class sports a classic and tasteful interpretation of a formal Mercedes-Benz grille and roundish headlamps. Higher-performance models get a more aggressive front air dam and bigger wheels, but the car never looks "boy racerish." The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a "sleek and dignified design," and specifically, the E550 has "a classy yet ...

The "comment" about the placement of the cruise control is completely bogus. I have been lucky enough to own various MBs since December of 1983. I have inadvertantly touched the cruise control once in all those years. Care to guess when? December of 1983. I have owned a 240D, a 190D, and several E Class [both diesel and gas]. Several hundreds of thousands of miles, and I have inadvertantly touched the cruise control once. Hell, I have touched the "open trunk" switch more often than that, or the wrong window switch. This concern re the placement of the cruise control started with Consumer Report many years ago. It was bogus then, it is bogus now, and it will be bogus next year when some so-called car reviewer can't think of anything original to say. BTW, you are also wrong re the transmissions for the various cars. The diesel has the 5 speed, the gas models currently have the seven speed.
