its gonna look good..personally I really like all the new MBZ cars..they are really stepping up their designs to be much more aggressive...the new SL black series is serious! but its too much $$ and in that price range too many better options

All auto makers copy each other. If it works for one others will follow.

Unforunately this looks nothing like the prototypes driving around.

+1

I think it'll look like this, those magazine scans wont do it justice...that said I dont think the new E is going to look amazing, but it def wont look as bad as those scans.

I sure hope it does look like this. It is much, much better. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

The bad:

- It's a little predictable. But then again I think that about a lot of new cars! The new 7 series is one example, yet real-life pics show it to look very good. The difference between the current E and next E are very big so my guess is it'll look great.

- Inner headlights need to be bigger and headlights in general need to be revised.

- A little too angular in some places.

- Stupid L-shape LEDs. What the hell!!!!

Unsure of:

- Rear lights. They are quite boring but they arent lazy like the C-class and they arent stupid like the S-class. They do flow well with the rear-arch detailing too. I think it'll look great but these pics probably dont do justice. Time will tell.
Agreed
