Regarding the interior - I like the displays better on the E Class - larger and also placed better.

Overall, somewhat disappointing unless the handling is now noticeably better than that of the competitors.
If you look at European prices the E43 is priced against the M550i. The E400 is priced against the 540i.

So it's actually Mercedes who is behind on power.
