holy crap thats the ugliest rear ive seen since the pontiac aztek.....hope it never makes it into production.....since i think that the current E class looks awesome. Doubt if this look will ever grow on me like the E60 adn Cayenne did.

Hate saying it but the E90 rear is up there with the ugliest.

There are shades of new A6 in the rear light treatment of the MB.

That front profile looks good, like the stance but I agree the rear needs redesigning. Taillights looks non-european.

Just thought u might want to take a look @ the new E Class

well hope u enjoyed leave ur comments!
all things said & done - i've notice that Autobild are seldom very far off
but - OMG - i hope the headlights dont come out looking like these!

the rest seems to mirror the new design language for MB

I don't know what it is, but I like this one better--in fact very well.

i am not a benz hater..they look cute in their own way and they are not as bad as many describe it.

I would not mind owning a benz one of these days!
