The clk is getting new engines in a couple of months also. I guess with the 320 now becoming a 350 then a 280 between it and the 240 V6 would make sense.

I'm looking forward to the new V8's at Mercedes as the current 500 with 61 bhp/litre is sooooo weak!

The new E 280 & SLK 280 (and any other range that gets that engine, I suppose) are slated for launch "spring 2005" - whatever that means. For me, it would mean September, but I doubt that's what M-B meant...
