Mercedes-Benz E400 Coming To The U.S. This Summer
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eloXR7f-8tY/WYk3-587dqI/AAAAAAAAyMs/BhxH8VP6SGos5Ne2Od3DIHcNVpnbAeFbQCLcBGAs/s1600/Mercedes-E400-Sedan-US-4.jpg)
Mercedes-Benz will launch the new E400 4Matic sedan in the United States later this summer as the new E-Class family continues to grow.
Sales of the E400 sedan commenced in various parts of the world earlier this year, but as is often the case, the U.S. has been forced to wait a little bit longer for it. Fortunately, it has all the right ingredients to make local Mercedes buyers think it was worth the wait.
Like the E43, the E400 sedan (and wagon) both use a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. However, it has been detuned to 329 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque and is funnelled through a nine-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels.
Local pricing details haven't been announced but Autoblog suggests a figure of around $62,000 is likely, making it slightly more affordable than the $64,045 E400 wagon.

There should be an E400, and an E400 Sport, which would replace the E43 in name only.

I'm fully on board with this. Hell, even calling it the E40 Sport or E40S would get rid of my AMG quibble.
So this is not going to be an AMG? And what about the new I6? What is MB doing?

We're all waiting for the new inline-6s, but I guess those will come with the facelift of the W213. For now we have these stop-gap V6s...
