>> Mercedes is going to simplify its line and make it rather pretty with this new E class Coupe. Gone will be the CLK line that used to fit between the C and the E class. Look for tech tricks on this car that include adaptive headlights that use a forward looking camera to prevent you from blinding the oncoming car and then gradually ramping back up to Hide Me mode when it detects the clear road ahead. Also Attention Assist will monitor a supposed 70 parameters to guess if you are nodding-off and sound a warning. Here's a spotter's tip, check it out the rather unusual squared off flaring around the rear wheel opening and quarter panel. Look for a 268 horsepower V6 or a much rowdier 382 horsepower V8 when this car hits dealerships in June '09. ^M00:00:59 [ Music ]
