You aren't meant to see this car until next year. But our photographers have caught the brand new E-Class completely undisguised.

I hate to admit it, but in terms of design, Mercedes is doing better than BMW. Yes, this car is a little too Lexus-GS-rip-off, but it's better than a Korean rip-off as is the case in recent BMWs. Regardless, I quite like the design of this car. It also looks exactly like the lovechild of an S and C class.

I disagree...

the new E class design is more reminiscant of the new pedestrian safety requirements with the enormous front facia. It looks more like a cow catcher mixed with rolls royce, and some mercedes "style" to boot.

poor combination...

The rear looks like a Hyundai Sonata, I don't know if any car looks like that at the front, but it's fugly. Interior looks cheap, but maybe attribute to the light angles.

it looks old....it could have been the model befor the one thats into production now

Rather imposing... Lexus.

Interesting rear fender element, although it looks out of place. Oh well. People never bought E-Class for its looks anyway.

ugly! so disappointed. the headlights are horrible. the rear is fine, but the interior seems to "cheap". This is supposed to be a premium sedan.

Looks horrendous!. Lot of use of sharp angles through out the design too, which i'm not convinced will age it well.
The current E class was almost beautiful imo.

I agree- the back is very Hyundai-esque and the interior is far too angular. It looks somewhat like a Cadillac interior with all the sharp edges. Not a huge fan.

Hey hey hey. Cadillac's won Interior of the Year before. ;-)

The current CTS interior looks worlds better than that 80's throwback.

What is this shit? Too many angles, my eyes are being raped. This is the ugliest E-class ever.
