2010 Brabus Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe

All 2010 E-Class Coupe models come standard with wood and leather trim, a telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth, and an audio system with MP3 compatibility and Sirius Satellite Radio, plus a panoramic sunroof. The E550 adds the previously mentioned electronic suspension, special wheels, and matching tires. Optional upgrades include a Sport package with AMG-style wheels; Harman/Kardon premium audio system with hard drive for music storage; voice-activated navigation; and premium leather.

The 2010 E-Class Coupe hasn’t yet undergone official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) testing, but like other Mercedes vehicles and the E-Class’s history in particular, the E-Class Coupe is expected to shine. To help meet the every-increasing standards of modern crash tests, Mercedes has added to its arsenal of standard features with pelvic airbags standard and optional rear-seat side airbags available.

On the preventive side of the safety equation, Distronic Plus prepares the car for impact by using the brakes to reduce impact speeds, and therefore reduce impact forces. Attention Assist warns when the driver is getting drowsy, which it can determine by keeping close tabs on the driver’s steering, brake and throttle inputs.

The car is no longer a driver’s car to match the BMW 3-Series Coupe - but that may be exactly what Mercedes intends for the 2010 E-Class Coupe.  Flashier styling, more comfortable accommodations and a more luxurious overall experience give the E-Class Coupe a different feel; it belongs to a different class - explaining the name-change and the new take on how to mate style with speed.

    Come on MA, you should know better than some of your comments in this article. the E-Class is clearly a competitor to the 5-series BMW, with the C-Class taking on the 3-Series.
    Therefore with this being touted as replacing the CLK is incorrect, this will be a brand new model it will be going up against the 6-series BMW, where im sure it will only be a matter of time before Merc-AMG shoe horn the frankly magnificent 6.3l V8 into it to take on the M6.

    @wizardsLore
    The price is much much closer to the 3-series than the 6-series so before you dis the article i suggest you get your facts right. Does anyone who can afford a 6-series go and by a new CLK? or do they go for the SL...or pay a little more for the CL. The Article is very acurate and Merc did not bild this car with the intension of competing against the 6-series as it will no doubt lose in almost all areas.

    the new e class coupe is actually cheaper than the outgoing CLK which starts at $69,500. Where as the 2010 E350 starts at $58,600 here in Canada.
