    New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    Well, not exactly a sportscar, but worth posting nevertheless.

    BTW, I think it's hideous. Smiley

    Oops, could somebody please move this thread to the AMG Mercedes section? Smiley

    To be honest, I didn't realise until now that we actually have such a section... Smiley

    Oh no - this new car is hideously ugly.....

    It doesn't even look like a Mercedes Benz (from the outside). It looks like one of those horrid Korean limos that try to look like a prestigious German sedan....

    Funny you should say that too.

    I've written here previously that I have mistaken a parked Maybach for a Hyundai, but seeing this car makes me think that all Mercedes-Benz's styling has now been outsourced to Hyundai. Smiley

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    This is really quite sad.  Mercedes has lost itself among the crowd of homogenized look a likes from Acura to Lexus, and back again to Hyundai.  Were the Lexus tailpipes really a necessary detail on the new E-class? I suppose it's unrealistic for Mercedes to return to a modern version of the W108/109, but the current offerings simply don't covey what a Mercedes Benz automobile was all about in another time, not that long ago.

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    WOW its amazing to see there are people which have the capability to design even more ugly cars as Porsche does! I'm excited to see what more new cars we will see in 2009!

    And yes atz - those Brabus style foglights someone put on this car and let me feel this ia the option "camouflage me sporty". Looks like some young boys pimping up their cars and dont know better how to do it well.

    As a german I'm afraid of our car industry. Where will this lead us to?

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    After CL, face lifted SL and S class, which looks really great, this one is big disappointment. Front is OK, but rear is like Hyundai Sonata...

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    My first impresion was that it loked liked one of those korean imitations of a german sedan.

    +1. Exactly my thought. Smiley


    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    People will get used to the rear end but those double foglight surrounds in the frontbumper is hideous. Same theme was presented by Brabus a couple of years ago and that should say something... Smiley


    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    It will be another succesful middle class Mercedes. The overall looks are typical Mercedes but the detailing needs some getting used to.

    I can remember how strange the W124  looked at first in the 80s. Soon everybody got used to it and it sold very well in every corner of the world to everybody from businessmen to taxi drivers.

    That'll be a pain in the butt on long trips if you spec it on a Bluetec hybrid diesel model.

    You'll have to stop at gas stations to sell your surplus fuel to other drivers, otherwise  your fuel tank might start to overflow.  Smiley

    Horrible styling IMO... Smiley

    And yet another car that dwarfs 19" wheels..

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    Its too bad this is so horrible. I really like the current generation S-Class, and the new CL as well. Not so much with the SL facelift, but I suppose you can't win them all. I had hoped that the stately, purposeful S-class would lead M-B in a good styling direction. Obviously I was wrong.

    What an amazing design. Mercedes nailed it with this one, so much grace and elegance in the appearence. Best looking E-class since the W124 SmileySmiley

    In some of the  pictures above it looks very ok for the type of car it is and for what the average E class buyer would expect.

    Re: New Mercedes E-class (sales brochure)

    I am not impressed at all.  As you said some pics looks ok but some are terrible.  I did not like the back half of the car as well as the interior.  By interior I mean central console.  The dash and steering wheel is alright.
