If your memory stretches that far back, the predecessor of the car in question here, the Mercedes-Benz E200, was once Singapore’s bestselling car. Not bestselling luxury car or bestselling mid-sized executive saloon, mind you.
Yes, if you can believe it, the number-one-selling car of the year on our little red dot – on at least three occasions since the mid-1990s – was the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Of course, the cynic in you would be pointing to how those cases are outliers. Broadly speaking, the above scenario happens only when COEs are in short supply and premiums are correspondingly sky-high. At any rate, let’s not take away from the fact that the E-Class in all its guises, from the base model E200 to the frothing-at-the-mouth beast that is the Mercedes-AMG E63, is a damn fine car and thoroughly deserving of claiming top spot when it does.
