Reminds me of one of the Kia's or Hyundai's....

Damn, and I liked the current generation E class... I think MB is losing its focus...

current refreshed E-class front bumper ( fogs), new C-class side profile but stretched, 335 coupe taillights, angular GS headlights, super oversized grille (this ain't some gigantic SUV), and uglier version of S-class wheels. where is the originality? don't like it at all...

Looks very similar to the new GS...im sure when this is closer to production everyone will dig it. just like the S-class....slap some of those AMG bumpers on it, and we will have a winner.....

I don't think I'm a big fan of the front. The rear's not bad though, IMO.

like gumbo?

but yea, like i said, this looks like the gs, which used to look like the e-class. but i think i'll like it more as i see it in person. i really like the current design though.

it's unfortunate that they get paid to do something like that... either way, i hope the final design will have less of the combination-of-other-cars-ness.

More ammunition to the thesis that new European cars are adding Japanese
cues, and vice versa...

yea i see a bit of a resemblance, but then again, i think the sonata rear looks like a better accord.

anyways, i think the new e-class will be one of those cars that look better in person.

The backend looks a bit like a knock off of the BMW 3ers.

nice. I really like it. The taillights remind me a little of the Lincoln MKZ though

i'll give mb credit though...it's one mean-looking car. i think it has potential to look very slick with the right color/wheels combo.

damn I've been a long time e-class fan if this is truely what they go with this is a big time let down. the 4 oval headlights i thought was a classic yet good looking design. The Lexus GS and if this is the future of the E class it looks like ass.
looks like i'll become a fan of their cross town rival.BMW.

Lexus always ripped off BMW's front styling with the LS, now MB is the one ripping off the GS's front! Oh how the tables have turned.
