2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Station Wagon To Debut

Mercedes-Benz confirmed on Monday that the world premiere of the 2010 E-Class station wagon will be held in September at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The German automaker also said that the wagon variant will be launched this fall.

Word of the debut was sandwiched inside a larger statement by Mercedes-Benz which said that the redesigned "E-Class has gotten off to a very successful start, with more than 40,000 units delivered to customers since the market introduction in spring 2009."

It said it expected a further boost in sales "in the coming months from the vehicle's introduction in key markets including the U.S. and China and the launch of the new station wagon."

Mercedes-Benz offered no more official details about the E-Class wagon, such as whether the wagon will get the two new four-cylinder engines now available in the E-Class sedan.
