Car And Driver have published their "Short Take Road Test" of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 coupe. 'Dimensionally, the E coupe is smaller than the E sedan; its wheelbase is clipped by 6.2 inches, and the car is almost seven inches shorter overall, losing about one-quarter of the four-door's rear-seat space. But despite the mildly less graceful ingress and egress (the car's pillarless-ness helps in this regard), you hardly feel the squeeze from the backseat, where head- and legroom are almost as gracious as the sedan's. The car feels far more luxurious overall than the CLK it replaces in the lineup, thanks to the rectilinear dash and interior theme from the E-class sedan. And the features list befits a car in this segment, too--burl wood trim, central info screen, 11 airbags, drowsiness warning, and leather as standard; plus the requisite high-end audio, sport package, and more leather and wood on the options list.'
