Looks about right. Taking some styling from the new C class. It looks pretty good to me. I love the front of the new C-class, but not a fan of the side or rear view.

Back end looks like a Hyundai Sonata and the front end looks like the older Lexus LX SUV. Mercedes-Benz has been on a role as of late. The new S-Class and the C-Class, but it the new E-Class looks anything like the renditions, then MB better go back to the drawing board!
