Just saw the new E-class...

dragonfly · 02-06-2009, 11:21 AM

Almost fully uncovered. Only the front grill was covered. Could only get the back shots. The back end looks weird, kind of hyundai-ish. Not impressed, although the side looked better.

maybe its Hyundai that looks MB-ish??

i love mb, partially because i have one

but they fucked up

josephr25 · 02-06-2009, 11:40 AM

the taillights remind me of the previous Lexus LS

gshb · 02-06-2009, 02:44 PM

well i thought its because hyundais former design chief now works at benz. "Piaskowski, who quit Hyundai last month, will become head of design at Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design in Irvine, Calif., starting Monday, Jan 12."

looks like the back end of a sonata..

Deda · 02-06-2009, 03:58 PM

leds looks cool,but thats all.

ZJP · 02-06-2009, 04:10 PM

Why the hell does every new car design have to look like shit?

The upcoming 5-series looks like ass too.

Kev · 02-06-2009, 07:23 PM

Thumbs down. I thought it was a Hyundai.

EmPower · 02-06-2009, 11:49 PM

i actually like it

sinnet112 · 02-07-2009, 12:07 AM

Looks more flattering in the pics they've released.

If it looks that bad in real life, they really messed up...

slipknot · 02-07-2009, 09:40 AM

hmmmm......the back really looks weird , almost too weird for an E class...the sides remind me of S class....this could be a S class nr 2

TunedM2C · 02-07-2009, 10:06 AM

Looks as big as the previus gen. S class.

Los Angeles · 02-07-2009, 01:09 PM

It looks really good in the last pic. I like it.

i dont like it at all.

BForbes · 02-07-2009, 11:24 PM

I have to see one in person. My mom might have to break her "E-Class'' streak.

ska///235i · 02-08-2009, 03:07 PM

old model looks alot better

20AE · 02-08-2009, 04:47 PM

Nice to see the 1998 Q45 has made a comeback. Everytime I see pics of the new E class I think of this

endofanera7 · 02-08-2009, 05:16 PM

Huyndai!

Not agree'ing with this. I like some of the early 5-series shops we've seen.

The MB does look heinous though.
