Normally, such a prospect requires a potent blend of Italian roast and <a href=\"http:\/\/krank2o.com\/\">Krank20<\/a> to stay hyper alert. Instead, behind the helm of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic, the going was serene and confident. In a word: Wow. <\/p>\n<p>These moments of vehicular astonishment have thinned out in the last two decades. Just look around at the automotive landscape. Even more modest conveyances are kitted out like luxury cars of yore, packing tons of tech and safety features that were once the exclusive purview of the world&#8217;s well-to-do.

You want speed, spring for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/04\/08\/new-york-mercedes-benz-e63-amg-says-ich-bin-ein-monster\/\">AMG E63<\/a> and shut up. But for the above-average family man, the E350 manages to transcend its asthmatic lungs, soft-spoken tiller and supple feet to foment serious respect, if not outright desire.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\">Review: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 Sedan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/01_mercedese3502010review_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/02_mercedese3502010review_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/03_mercedese3502010review_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/04_mercedese3502010review_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-sedan-review\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/05_mercedese3502010review_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewphillipsphotography.com\/\">Drew Phillips<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> \/ <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Copyright (C)2010 Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Review: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic weathers the storm with aplomb<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/2010-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-review\/\">Review: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic weathers the storm with aplomb<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:57:00 EST.
