For those who think that the days of station wagons are over Mercedes-Benz is ready to present the 2010 E-Class auto at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show in September. Soon after the debut the manufacturer plans to start the production of the model.

The E-Class sedan has been a real success this year. After spring debut the company sold more than 40,000 units which made it the global market leader in May. The expectations of the station wagon are really high if it will follow the steps of the sedan.

Mercedes does not unveil any details on the new project even though its production is so near. The majority of fans expect it to have the same two engines as the sedan has: the E350 4MATIC and 6.2-liter v8 E63 AMG.

According to Mercedes Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing, Klaus Maier all new E-Class vehicles are “the brand’s basic attributes of safety, comfort, and quality”. All of them have good fuel-economy because the engines have direct injection systems and use less fuel than their predecessors although having higher output.

The new 2010 E-Class station wagon is coming to Europe named Estate. The manufacturer will also sell it to the U.S. and Chinese customers, because these are the biggest markets for vehicles of this kind.
