I'm pretty sure this isn't a repost, I did a quick search and found nothing.

The front is OK IMO, but the back makes it look like a Hyundai :?

flat ass. How long as it been since the last update?

[saadie]

i must say .. after seeing the C class and now E ... man . they just dont look any executive anymore .... i think the sales will drop ... :roll:
i see lexus'ness in ti and the rims .. hmm looks like they ahve taken em directly off cls 500 ... crap

[evoWalo]

The front kinda reminds me of the current Honda Accord.

[komotar]

the reae looks like one of those fiat caravans....

this is defentley not the end product...

I saw these pics in a german mags...

sometimes big companies test the public by putting pics like these
in papers...ofcorse MB wouldn't admit that....

[pharzo]

This design is horrid! I mean the old one kinda looked manly, and quite cool, with those large round headlamps. This just looks like a cls with maybach headlights and a back that resembles an aston martin rear, but straightened with a ruler! Also looks like it's ready to submerge with that big visual line going diagonally across

[Vansquish]

The front looks like the Lexus GS-series and the back...American Honda Accord....really not very classy.

[Z3uS]

As you said the back looks like a Hyundai :?

I think the back is not as challenging (this is not what i mean but i just cant remembre the right word) as the front.

As an overall i think its beatiful.

Im afraid that the car has too much the Japanese cues such as the Lexus as the people has already mentioned; on the one hand, it was welcome to see some merc shapes approaching the japanese car shapes in order to break the classical and also a bit boring impression that the merc was offering. However, IMO the mercs current looks even better than its direct rivals such as the Audi A6 and the BMW Series 5. Nonetheless well wait and see how the merc looks definitely

[Sir_GT]

Saab rear. Lexus front. Boring all over.

[ZfrkS62]

can anyone else tell that this was a Kwik-E-Mart Photochop? the grille isnt' lined up right and the blend lines are extremely obvious. I wouldn't be surprised if the E class looks nothing like this. But then again looking at the new C class....it just may be that ugly :puke: :plays taps for Mercedes:

[Toronto]

mmmm...... new m5 is looking alot better then this :D

[blah]

There is no way in hell this will be the final product. :roll:

[dangerously_cool]

I doubt that'll be final. Lexus has always followed MB, and that won't reverse. Too much lexus in the front, and it's Audi in the back to me.

[sads]

Am I the only one who actualy likes it then?

[Sir_GT]

It actually looks feasible. Look at the shape of the front outer headlamps... they have a hint of the new SLK in them.

Besides, most german mags get it right anyway.

Looks really bad for an Merc. Reminds me a bit of the Hyundai Sonata

[martin100]

I agree! The front is ok but the back sucks hard :? I rather like the actual model anyway...

[crayzayjay]

Front: not bad


Back: OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL IS THAT?

*faints*

[cityslickerhick]

I think it looks quite nice actually, the current model seems a bit outdated to be frank

I hate to say this. . . but that looks better :).

Okay, maybe the BMW 3 (E90) taillights does not look so bad after all. This is definitely worst.

[x-per]

Damn the design of the todayscars is bloody awfull, why are they destroing the companys trademark like that?

The current E-class looks much better imho.
But the worst thing is the new Porsche 997, the 996 looks much better.

You're the first person i've ever come across to think that. In terms of styling, 993>997>996
