I am eagerly awaiting a PHEV Mercedes! I’ve consider the Volvo V90, but my nearest dealer is an hour from my home, and I expect to need dealer support with these new technologies. I’m hoping a PHEV E class wagon will be available in the not too distant future. Still driving my 2010 gas guzzling Sienna...215k km. Seems very reliable so I guess I’ll wait on Mercedes. If anyone hears any updates, please let me know!
