I'm not a fan of MB and think they're styling looks forced and overdone these days with too many bulges and swage lines. That car looks bulbous at the rear and the chrome insert rising from behind the front wheel and up onto the rear bumper only accentuates that to my eyes. The odd reverse curve line beneath the side windows doesn't help either. Their styling tends to date very quickly these days as they try too hard to incorporate fashionable design cues rather than setting a trend like BMW who's cars tend to mature well with time.

Ya i agree fully. I think ththe problem is that old people buy E classes and therefore it's a conservative design. Well i think any of us could have designed this new E. Very disappointing. I think MB needs some Cadillac designers.. they really turned their imagine around from old people and boring to now students all over their cars..

Example:
Can't please everyone/anyone 'cause we are all better " designers " in our own minds . On MBZ boards , they are saying it's losing " classsic " MBZ look and taking on too much " creasing " like a CTS !
BTW, has anyone ever been on ANY car board where a new version of ANY car has not been met with equal parts love AND hate ? If so, please share that link with us all !

Knowing the current C class , why is the final shape of the E a surprise ?The volume seller in each line ( BMW 3,MBZ E ) must be it's most conservative to appeal to the widest number of buyers , because it pays the bills .
