*It takes one hell of a blind reviewer to overlook the full fledged number pad to dial numbers plus twice the green and red phone to use instead of the COMAND system's wheel.*
I keep thinking of everything that will break and cost a lot to fix. Ragtop and motor, heated seats, leather in sunlight, cameras, seat belt extender, and radar sensors.
The last CNET review video I saw was uploaded on May 16th 2013, my little brother's birthday. This one was uploaded on February 19th 2014, my birthday. Cool 😎
I love your reviews Cooley, but seriously? That's what the number pad and red/green phone buttons on the dash are for, so you don't have to scroll around the screen to dial a number and/or answer a call.
Another classic Cooley review....turning a sleeper vehicle into an entertaining yet informative review. Idk how he continuously does it #cooleyfortopgearUSA
I love Cooley's reviews, but the only problem is that his work is more mature(?) for a lack of a better word...I dont think you can get the full essence of the review if you're a younger audience, this is more directed towards people who are actually going to buy their own car. I personally love it and dont want it to change, but I'm just pointing it out as to be the reason why he isnt as big as other magazines or websites. If anyone was wondering.
I don't think the E550 is necessary. just go for the 350 with some extras it will cost around 60 grand. If you want a super torque-fast convertible go for the SLK 55 AMG for less than 78 grand.
+osamaFXX The SLK is more of a sports car and is a bit more dramatic than the E550. The car's market is for people who want power, however they do not want to be too ostentatious with the delivery of that power and the sounds of the car. This car is more of a gentleman's Autoban burner for a guy who want to be able to pass with ease & comfort as oppose to jarring performance. In all realness the power is excessive considering most people including my family only use it as a sea side cursing car, however the ability to be able to acess that excessive power in a refined way is what a lot of Mercedes buyers want.
The vast majority of people criticizing this car have not the buying power, nor the intelligence to ever buy a car of this stature and prestige. Coming from a family that CAN afford these cars, I can promise you these cars are far from garbage. Look at the S-Class. It puts almost all other cars to complete shame. The vast majority of you are simply criticizing this car because you lack the money to buy this and are shrewd and unhappy in that respect. The simple, uncomfortable, truth.
It's 2014, and back-up cameras are optional on most cars? There are non-luxury cars sold for 2014 model year that have back-up cameras standard. Luxury cars need to step up and make them standard.
+Michael Simms check your laws, is it possible to get other new cars without it? Also, they know they can charge us more since we'll be buying more of them
lol "ok let's price this guy, sit down!" this guys great

Geezez christ that's barely 200pounds lighter than my ML430 :P
***** That's why Benz is so safe ,they will destroy other cars during a accident.
Cooley you've done it again.
Well done bro...
Brian Cooley, we're here watching CNET video ... just to see you :D
Cooley makes me happy!
The last CNET review video I saw was uploaded on May 16th 2013, my little brother's birthday. This one was uploaded on February 19th 2014, my birthday. Cool 😎
You can't have an illuminated star with the Driver assistance tech. DISTRONIC CC is not functional with the illuminated star. Great video Brian!
For the longest time I didn’t know they made a 2-door E. I knew about the 2-door C but not this. But I like it.
Finally! Cooley!
My man COOLEY!
Cooley please go back to reviews, pleaseeeeeeee!!!
cooley!! so awesome
Don't care about the car. here to see my nigga Cooley!
is this still a c class underneath?
Cooley says it best!
is the lag really that bad???
Is it 0 MPH adaptive cruise?
I love your reviews Cooley, but seriously? That's what the number pad and red/green phone buttons on the dash are for, so you don't have to scroll around the screen to dial a number and/or answer a call.
Tape in the camera???

one of the few cars worth buying, ( oh yeah i do have 1 in black )
Nice

Brian you could review a stick and make it interesting... Top job
Can't get illuminated star if you get drivers assist package.
xxthehuskycaboosexx yeah...cause the distronic's radar is in the star :D~~~that's how you can tell if the benz has the distronic+ or not :D
I really wish Mercedes would make a E63 AMG Coupe
me too my dad and I had the edu on our E550 tuned by Brabus and that helped a lot
good
coooooooooooooooooooooooooooly
If you change it to 720P it works :)

DROP TOP WILL COST YOU 65K TO START,BUT THAT ENGINE OMG!!!!

Luna Magazine Yes but if you have kids or snow your screwed with the SLK.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
I bring you Coooooooooleeeeyyyyyyyyy!
Cooooleeyyyy

Agreed my mom has this car and it's so nice so....
I couldn't agree with you more...well said! Now the question for me is- Will it be an E Class sport sedan or 535i sport or the new GLE or X5.
Agreed because my mom has the s class and I love it
Cooley, that interior is part of the LAST generation of Mercedes. CLA Sclass new C class are all the new design convention
It's 2014, and back-up cameras are optional on most cars? There are non-luxury cars sold for 2014 model year that have back-up cameras standard. Luxury cars need to step up and make them standard.
yeah, but that's just one POV, this thing has got like 10 cameras!
you can get this for 26k now
So the 'new' camera on a 2014 ***** is +/- equal to the camera on my 2008 *****
Don’t Believe this Salesman is Fake but that E550 is Ok don’t forget it’s a E class
all im getting is a black screen
Twin Turbo V8 with only 402 hp smh
Why are Mercedes still charging for park assist in the US. In Australian you can not bye a Mercedes with out it it is standard a a basic A Class
+Michael Simms check your laws, is it possible to get other new cars without it? Also, they know they can charge us more since we'll be buying more of them
The law has nothing to do with it. They are charging for something that they do not charge for in other markets.
Also, the E class coupe shares more in common with the C class than the E class
For $68000 I would get the new m4
all there is is a black screen and choppy sound!
NICE car but nearly 70k before any options is STEEP
Hell to the no.
lol if you have no self esteem.. get the illuminated emblem. $600. cray.
Computerized lag? Really?!
I'd rather have an VW EOS but that's because I love VWs.
That is a alot... not to mention a subscription for apps? Ridiculous.
or just get a z06 corvette
nice car but not nice enough for that price.
wow 78K.. i rather get the M4
The M4 convertible will probably be more expensive.
It doesn't compete with an M4 in any case.....Now the E-Class AMG will piss on this M4
Narrowc ross it does, in price. and fuck convertibles. they are for pussies
*****
...and hardtops are for dicks...and SUVs are for assholes?
Narrowc ross The E class AMG only comes in a Sedan version (E63 AMG Sedan). The E550 is the top model for the E coupe/convertible.
Nooooooooooooooo coooooooleeeeeeeeey
not affordable for everyone.
All I have to say is, thank God for depressiation.
Maybe it's just me, but Mercedes vehicles sure do look ugly in red.
+Leo the Weirdo Definitely not just you man ha ha if it was a darker red it'd be pretty cool
+Leo the Weirdo I totally agree! my family has that car in Palladium Silver and it is a lot more flattering for the car!
Really ugly compared to the non facelift ready for a redesign
Shame it had to be a light red...really damages the looks of the car
ANTUAN > COOLEY
You shut your filthy mouth ;)
Alex Jacobson heh heh
Go wash your mouth out with soap, kid.
OmgSteveJobs i need to shut my mouth AND wash it with soap? heh heh
My Nexus #1 can do better than that.
This guy tries to be funny, which he's not.
Chick car. Don't like it.
crap car. Sorry/
You are very wrong. Sorry.
