Took our wagon to the Tail of the Dragon this weekend for an event. It did great on those roads. Photo credit goes to Killboy.com & US129 for the action shots.

 

I've driven both, and you pretty much nailed it. The E450 is a plusher and more "luxurious" car, with the ride to go with it. That said... I had a black one, and after a few days I realized it looked like a hearse. Here's how it shakes out for me:

COMFORT/LUXURY: Mercedes
RIDE: Mercedes
PERFORMANCE/HANDLING: Jaguar
LOOKS: Jaguar, by a mile
COMMENTS (if you care about this): Jaguar. Honestly, I'm still surprised be how many people ask me about the car.

I had a 2022 XF loaner the other day and man, Jaguar really stepped up in the interior. Wish our cars had that one.
