Official pix.

Personally, i prefer this one to the current one. I think i prefer mercedes cars to be more of the angular kind like this one.
Really dig the twin square headlamps on each side and i believe the tail lamps are not "even" in their texture (dont know how to explain), just like in the 80's wich is a cool throwback.

Looks like chromey junk.

Just looks like a bigger C-Class. Not beautiful, but not pig ugly either. Should be more elegant and curvier IMO.

Its exactly what we expected it to look like, nothing more, nothing less.

Still beats the pants off the i-wanna-be-a-JDM 5-series, though.

Hummm... not really working for me, at all actually. I still am kinda hoping that the estate and the coupe come out a bit better, but the front should be pretty much the same so, meh...

I do understand what you mean, and the fact that MB seems to be ditching that design feature ( that i think actually had function ) has been pissing me off for ages now. Hopefully they will come to their senses and bring it back.

Those rear lights look like the Korean copycat of a 1980's Mercedes. To be fair the car looks pretty good... until the middle of the rear doors. Because after that someone-with-really-thick-glasses-which-he-had-apparently-lost took over the design!

It was a good feature wasnt it ?
As a kid, it was one of the 1st things i looked at when i saw a MB and i how recognised them too . their fonction was aerodynamic if iam not wrong

That looks too kitschy.

I think that looks FAR more appealing than the regular E!
