Mercedes-Benz Sedan

The Bottom Line: The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 Coupe strikes a balance between luxury and sport, with engaging driving and high quality cabin electronics, while presenting a very stylish exterior.

Specs: Coupe, Gas

The Bottom Line: If you can pay for the gas, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 has many features to recommend it, and offers an incredibly comfortable ride, but don't expect it to play well with your personal electronics.

The Bottom Line: The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG combines very impressive performance on road and track with first-rate cabin electronics, making it fun and convenient. Just make sure you budget for gas.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG defines luxury and performance, offering usable and high-quality cabin gadgets pushed down the road by a powerful, and thirsty, engine.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 covers cabin tech basics and drivability very well, without going over the top. Its imperturbable handling is good but doesn't generate much excitement, while its cabin tech gets the job done without many frills.

The Bottom Line: With a comfortable cabin (albeit with some uninspiring tech), solid performance, and an astonishingly economical drivetrain, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec is an impressive newcomer to the luxury sedan segment.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Mercedes-Benz E550 is a powerful pugilist in a coat and tie. Its classy exterior, glorious V-8, and well-appointed interior are let down by some poorly designed cabin technology.

The Bottom Line: Mercedes-Benz is exploring new ground with the R-Class Grand Sports Tourer. With 4,800 pounds of heft, sport doesn't really apply to the 2006 R350, but with excellent passenger space and comfort, it's great for touring in grand style.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 S550 is a fitting flagship for Mercedes-Benz, offering cutting-edge technology to go with excellent performance for a full-size sedan. It's expensive with all the gizmos but trumps the competition in nearly every respect.

The Bottom Line: Mercedes-Benz's new engine, transmission, and electronic options keep the 2006 E350 in the benchmark position for the midsize luxury-sedan class.
