President Obama’s whistle-stop tour notwithstanding, players are not exactly known for taking public transportation. So what slick new ride have the obscenely well-heeled been waiting for? That would be the new Mercedes E-Class, says Celso Rochez, marketing manager at Herb Chambers Mercedes.
The E-Class is the most popular Mercedes, and a redesign only comes around about once in seven years. That explains the hysteria — crazed bloggers, blurry pre-release photos, extrapolations based on European sightings. Regardless of the recession, some Bostonians are already clamoring for the car, which is a lot bolder and more aggressive than versions past (the grill almost looks like it’s snarling).
The E-Class arrives this summer, and general manager Jeff Davis at Chambers Motorcars of Boston (259 McGrath Highway, Somerville, 617.666.4100) will get you on the list. Sure, it’ll run you a cool 50–80 grand. But you do have to pay to play. (Or start saving now, and be ready in seven years when the next redesign rolls around.)
