What exactly do you classify as an "E" segment car? Going by the price layering system, the C and E class Benz would maybe fall in this. That would make the S fall in the "F" class! lol.
The thing is, our auto magazines started with these layering systems randomly baseing them on price, not the size of the car. This seems to have now been adopted without a proper study. Hence, we (and the magazine themselves) find ourselves constantly mixing things up! Hence, they were forced to develope the C+ class, coz they had already labled the Accord's and Sonata's as D!!
For example, I was speaking to my dad's friend yesterday when he asked me what I feel was the best car in the C segment. Well, I told him the City was good, and the Ikon was decent value too. He then told me that coz of the price cuts, the Ikon now falls in the B category! So you see, he classifies category according to price, and some ppl classify em according to size!
What we need is a standard system for classifying cars according to their size, just like they do in the US. That would then allow manufacturers to advertise that their car "has the space of a "D" segment car, but is priced the same as an Optra" or whatever!
Anyways, since I based my choices on price, I'll answer your question:
I guess there really is no competition in that area, as BMW nor Audi has entered the market with their 7 of 8 series respectively. So, by default, I would take the S. Although, if it was my money, I'd buy an E class, I just love the looks of the W211.
