When we first saw this estate at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/FrankfurtMotorShow\/\">Frankfurt Motor Show<\/a>, we were told not to expect an American showing of the vehicle. Well, Mercedes has apparently had a change of heart as they debuted the wagon, and in 4Matic trim no less.<\/p>\n<p>The E-Class Wagon joins the thoroughly revised sedan and coupe variants of Merc&#8217;s mid-sizer and shares much of their styling outside and in. The one big difference obviously is the wagon back, which looks very handsome to our two-box-lovin&#8217; eyes. There&#8217;s also the surprise of available jump seats in the &#8220;way-back,&#8221; which pop out of the floor of the cargo area and go back-to-back with the rear bench, giving the little ones a great view of traffic behind them. The outgoing model had them as an option as well, but we can&#8217;t think of any other U.S. cars that still sell these rear-facing &#8220;way back&#8221; seats.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes is only bringing the E350 4Matic version of the E-wagon for now, although hope springs eternal that an E63 AMG Wagon might be in the cards eventually, even if it&#8217;s only a special-order item like the last one was. For now, there are a whole batch of live shots from New York along with a press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\">New York 2010: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC Wagon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01-2011-e-class-wagon-us_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02-2011-e-class-wagon-us_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03-2011-e-class-wagon-us_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04-2011-e-class-wagon-us_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/new-york-2010-2011-mercedes-benz-e350-4matic-wagon\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05-2011-e-class-wagon-us_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by Frank Filliponio \/ Copyright (C)2010 Weblogs, Inc.<br \/>\n<\/small><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n[Source: Mercedes-Benz]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/31\/new-york-2010-mercedes-benz-brings-the-e350-4matic-wagon\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>New York 2010: Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic Wagon returns with throwback third-row<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/31\/new-york-2010-mercedes-benz-brings-the-e350-4matic-wagon\/\">New York 2010: Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic Wagon returns with throwback third-row<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:17:00 EST.
