I, also, cannot see much difference. But, then, for what it is, I am quite happy with the current model. My only real complaint is the hardness of the door arm rest - so perhaps the promised 'soft touch surfaces on armrests' might address that ??. Also, I have no problems with the current cruise control stalk (exactly the same as on my sons E Class Merc) so don't see the reason for messing with that.
17" wheels seem a bit mean !
I am assuming, in all of this, that these changes will apply to European CRD models ??
And the prices sound very cheap - in the US, of course ! We Brits will be ripped-off.....
