The E420 is a yardstick of quality in its class of high-end touringsedans. Frankly, the car is as good as it is because of rampant competition
in this segment, with serious challenges available from the Cadillac STS,
Lexus LS 400, Infiniti Q45, and, of course, the BMW 540i. Nevertheless,
the car still acquits itself very well among its peers. It's clear that
the three-pointed start still stands for something special.
