Viewed from the side, the new model is an intriguing proposition - with its clear proportions and a flawless cabriolet silhouette.In keeping with the motto "four seasons, four personalities", all-year-round suitability was right at the top of the developers' list of priorities. With the new E‑Class Cabriolet, the cabriolet season lasts the whole year because, while many cabriolets tend to disappear from the roads of Western Europe in the autumn, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (length/breadth/height: 4698/1786/1402 mm) provides driving pleasure and comfort whether the roof is open or closed.</description></item><item><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:00:48 GMT</pubDate><link>http://www.d4u.com.ua/en/manid/3/serid/79/go/Car-of-the-Year-2010/news.details.html</link><title>Car of the Year 2010.

Among the Nominees in 2010 were:Citroen C3 PicassoMercedes-Benz E-classOpel Astra/Vauxhall AstraPeugeot 3008Skoda YetiToyota iQVolkswagen PoloFirst place: Volkswagen Polo 2010The Polo, a car which in the eyes of many jurors looks and feels like a scaled-down Golf, has been even more appreciated than its bigger stable-mate, which took third place last year. In fact, it is the first Volkswagen CotY winner in 18 years, following the win in 1992... by a Golf. All the 59 Jury members from 23 European countries gave points to the winner, and 25 of them chose it as their favourite.</description></item><item><pubDate>Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:30:04 GMT</pubDate><link>http://www.d4u.com.ua/en/manid/3/serid/79/go/The-new-E-Class-in-white-as-a-top-class-Lorinser/news.details.html</link><title>The new E-Class in white as a top-class Lorinser.

It was only natural for Sportservice Lorinser, a company with long tradition, to take on the type W212 limousine with special devotion. The result is an optical and technical masterpiece, which is available from now. The world-renowned four-eyed face of the completely re-designed classic is captivating in its tuned version thanks to the extremely bold expression. The strikingly angular front headlights are joined by a black coated grill, which is thrillingly pushed into centre of attention by the front spoiler that has been stretched further forwards.Its new aura is not just mysterious, but also oozes power. The designers knew that by having a middle section in the bumper marked with a different colour, they would be able to skilfully emphasise the typical Lorinser gills in the fenders as well as the voluminous side sills.</description></item><item><pubDate>Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:23:57 GMT</pubDate><link>http://www.d4u.com.ua/en/manid/3/serid/79/go/Carlsson-Mercedes-Benz-E-class-Coupe/news.details.html</link><title>Carlsson Mercedes-Benz E-class Coupe.
