(One of those roads does run alongside a river, briefly.) These more taxing environs might not have the E400’s glamour, but they certainly provided ample opportunity for the E-class’s fundamental excellence to shine. Since there are no rivieras near our Ann Arbor, Michigan, headquarters, we cruised a lot of battered roads instead. With its blue-colored soft top-another no-cost option red, black, and dark brown also are available-our Iridium Silver metallic E400 looked French Riviera ready. Surely owners will be a cleaner bunch than the grubby ranks of auto journalists, anyhow. Although we noticed the light-colored leather on the seats and steering wheel was already suffering some discoloration in this low-mileage test car, it unquestionably pops next to the navy blue leather lining the upper door panels, rear parcel shelf, and dashtop pad. Skip right past a boring black leather interior to the two-tone options such as the Designo Macchiato Beige and Titian Red nappa scheme ($4200, plus $3250 for the required Premium 1 package) or, as our car came optioned, the no-cost Macchiato Beige and Yacht Blue layout with $150 light-brown elm trim. Buyers’ ordering choices have an outsize effect on the visual wattage, of course. Lower the cabrio’s roof, however, and they’re on full display for everyone. On other E-class models, Mercedes’ gorgeous interior design and fit and finish are private enjoyments for their occupants.
