2. 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec
Editors' rating: 8.7
The good: A powerful yet phenomenally fuel-efficient diesel engine, a great stereo and the usual upscale Mercedes interior trim make the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec an attractive package.
The bad: The E-class navigation system suffers from poor design and poor placement. Lack of nationwide availability means some customers will have a long drive home from the dealer.
The bottom line: With a comfortable cabin (albeit with some uninspiring tech), solid performance and an astonishingly economical drivetrain, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTec is an impressive newcomer to the luxury sedan segment.
