 We picked up my wife's E-350 at the factory and enjoyed driving it in Germany & Austria.  And the experience is wonderful.  The car is very, very tight, confident and comfortable.  It was a delight on the autobahns as well as tooling around those tight streets in small bergs.  BUT, we found out that the American and Canadian versions have port fuel injection while the European versions have direct injection.  So, recommend anyone contemplating a new E, postpone your purchase until the Germans give us just as good technology as they give their own buyers or buy another brand that values us.
