Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / July 2006Does Mercedes still make a Wagon
Hi All, Does Mercedes still make a Wagon? If so, what model numbers? TIA .....t Yes, the C-Class and E-Class estates are still in production. There's even an AMG "grocery getter." Forgot to mention that only the E-Class is available in the US, if that's your neck of the woods. In 2005, the C-Class was available, and there have been spy photos of the new C-Class estate being tested. >Forgot to mention that only the E-Class is available in the US, if that's >your neck of the woods.

I asked at my MB dealer yesterday and was told that the new C-class wagons will not be imported to the US. Sigh. Kal If you're talking about the estate version of the C, then a lot of people think it is as useful as the BMW 3 estate version -- not very. The ultimate is the E Class.

Too big for me. BMW 3 is too small. Our C320 wagon is just the right size for us two. Rear seats down, I can schlepp all the weekend stuff in comfort. Kal Glad to hear it works for you. As you know I was only passing on hearsay and journalists' comments (maybe that's hearsay, too). I have never owned such a type of car and only rarely driven one (usually rented). I must admit that if I looked at such a car I would not overlook the C Estate/Wagon. DAS For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling --- [...] > Too big for me. BMW 3 is too small.

We are only two and we drive almost only on weekends from NYC to CT (and back) where we have a house. I review audio systems and often have to carry bulky cartons of equipment back and forth. So, our priorities are driving/riding comfort and enjoyment and the capacity to stuff in some big components from time to time. Prior to the C320S, we had a few Saab hatchbacks which sufficed but, with the demise of their hatchbacks, we looked elsewhere. Considering the critical (for us) distance from the back of the rear seats and the rear hatch along with the performance, this seemed optimum. We now have 4 years on it and renewed the lease until next year. The alternatives are few. Kal >Glad to hear it works for you.

What, you never had Universal and Binz wagons over there in the late 50's and early 60s?

Typicaly MB produces a chassis in one or maybe a couple of variants, but there are like 16 variants of the 110/111 chassis. Special ones for ambulances, and all sorts of utility vehicles. Noen were by any stretch of the imagination "common" though and arguably this was 40 years before their time.

Very nice looking. I have rarely seen one in private use. The C class estate is more common. |
