That car needs the AMG body kit... STAT!

Glyn M Ruck · 04-16-2009, 07:05 PM

Yes - not sure this one is going to grow on us!!!!

acr2001 · 04-16-2009, 07:08 PM

What the hell are they thinking? Don't they run these designs through test groups first? Did they actually find groups of people who liked this?!

CrAZyVeGAsBoY · 04-16-2009, 07:11 PM

honestly its not that bad, not the best but i dont think its that bad

FrankW · 04-16-2009, 07:12 PM

I saw it yesterday on the 405 freeway in LA. It was heading north and I was heading south. looks much better in person even at just a glance. most likely a MBUSA demo for some dealers.

len56 · 04-16-2009, 07:20 PM

I think it looks fine in person. Like fine...this is a bad angle maybe? The C has some horrible angles in pictures, but ALWAYS looks good in person.

The E...It's been sharpened up... looks like it's targeted towards young rich people :P. The front is very aggressive.

Just a bit to wide for my taste, but it is a luxury sedan...

Trust me I've seen it in person from all possible angles, remember I took the Photo!!! and let me tell you I was really surprised Mercedes even made this a production car.
However I have to admit that I like the front end.

Azn_C300 · 04-16-2009, 07:35 PM

With some mods, it could grow on me....maybe

coupe:

Brabus

Kicherer:

QuadBenz · 04-16-2009, 07:37 PM

That must be a bad pic in the OP. The E modded by Kickerer just has the standard AMG body kit on the exterior and looks beautiful, IMO.

JohnnyBenz2008 · 04-16-2009, 07:59 PM

coupe? clk maybe?

from what i heard they are discontinuing the clk. They are replacing it with the e class coupe. I think they did a great job with the styling with the new e class

That picture has a bad angle and poor lighting is hard to criticized, thanks for sharing.

TB5... · 04-16-2009, 08:08 PM

Who's the S-Class for then? People who are about to croak?

hazee · 04-16-2009, 08:16 PM

Rear end is bit too bulky .. but the worst part it looks like the 2002 Honda Accord or the current Kia.

I liked the overall look and the aggressive front end.

The S-Class is DEF not an old person car. Don't listen to these fools.

The E-Class is tho.

Azn_C300 · 04-16-2009, 10:20 PM

E class isn't really for old people....it's more for people too fat to fit in C class

jk

woedee · 04-16-2009, 11:18 PM

E coupe is the way to go! The Kicherer & Brabus tuned sedans are also 'off the chain'!

No, it does not. It resembles the Hyundai Sonata due to the taillight shapes. I too am disappointed in it's looks but in the right color and with the right wheels I might be able get used to it.

If I had the eighty grand to buy it, that is.

Looks like an E250 CDI. That's the new 204hp 4-cylinder diesel.

Also notice the all-LED brake lights.
