The side profile is not as bad as the spy pics showed, however I simply hate the rear. Also it seems 100% likely that there will be an AMG version

I agree, the back makes it look like a BMW

Worse in every way than original E coupe (pre refresh)

- Bland marshmallow corporate face.
- same shape essentially just rounder, no evolution
- same corporate coupe rear
- much worse integration of that rear mini window. Original E had it way smaller. This one looks like a disaster.Like a freaking sliding house window.
- not a single original thought or design element. This car is a complete rehash of parts and current design elements. Design looks like it was probably generated by a computer.

The original E coupe was the object of my dreams for years and years, I still want one. This... I looked at it, and I don't mind if I don't see it again. It's a nice overall car by itself but unsuccessful successor in my book, and I actually think C-class coupe looks better with the current design language.

From this side picture, it looks nearly identical to the C Coupe

WOW, written like a true expert in car design and technology.
so tell me...how many cars have you designed so far?

Nuieve

Because 90% of the car is identical to C. The only different is that it is longer so it has slightly different shape/length behind B-pillar.

What does it matter. The car is not exciting at all. Just a predictable corporate design. Kind of like Audi. Clearly moving towards 'same sausage different length' approach.

Scrapple!

beejAMG

not that it matters but the way you put the new E coupe down is like you drive a veyron or something.
have you looked at the similarities between your glk and a 2005 suzuki vitara?

Mercedes-Benz Reveals 2018 E-Class Coupe Before Its Official Detroit Auto Show Debut



The Detroit Auto Show doesn't take place until January, but Mercedes-Benz is giving us a look at its 2018 E-Class Coupe it plans on showing there right now.

Read the rest on the MBWorld.org homepage. >>

yet it will sell amazingly well regardless

refresh after refresh the same "I hate it" from previous gen owners and people still seem to defy this and buy the new model

MB Marko

everyone hates on new models at the start, I think it looks good like a baby S class coupe in a way.

fastlife23

do not like the rear at all

andrew e coupe

~ change is a challenge for the majority of us. it will grow on most of us in time.


i kinda like it ... evolution perhaps.


as with most cars, the larger wheels in the photos posted make it more acceptable appearance wise.

While undeniably beautiful, in my opinion it suffers from a lack of differentiation that has become common among the new Mercedes cars, from the C-Class (including coupe and cabriolet), E-Class sedan and S Class coupe. All these cars seem to have a "sameness" about them that was not characteristic of the Mercedes line in the past. I used to be able to distinguish one Mercedes from another in an instant. Now, more than ever, I must look very carefully in order to identify the model.

at least you know it is a Mercedes ... as opposed to being unable to distinguish the new A/S5 from a Subaru/Kia/Ford Fusion when approaching from the front

VossenWheels

Personally not too crazy about it yet either.

SDRider

Looks promising. Like a baby S-class coupe. I'd have to drive the AMG version though. A compressor driven inline 6 making 400hp sounds wonderful.

I can find photos of MB coupe old timers that looks similar to each other but you get the idea...

elijah

Instead of complaining I've come to accept that C, E & S models resemble eachother way too much.
I really like this one

advocado

Kind of reminds me of GM's OldsmoCadiBuick models of the 70's and 80's

Paulo Soares

i love this car

dudley07726

Let's hope the reliability is much better than those you mentioned. Some of that was GM's nadir.

Amen

Maybe I'm biased, which I probably am as I just purchased an E550C, but I find the exterior on the current models to be more timeless - this includes prerefresh and refresh. I can see this model getting dated, quickly - and the reason is, it, like the new C Coupe, look fantastic in some angles and disproportional at others. They hit the nail on the head with the S Coupe and then seem to have had problems shrinking it for the C and E. Again, in some glances they are absolutely stunning. In others, they look like they will age very quickly. With that being said, the new E's interior is absolutely glorious and I'm very jealous.

4MaticCoupe

German site has configurator up and running for new E Coupe. No Brilliant Blue ... looks like Lunar Blue still available (although referred to as Cavansite Metallic), and an Emerald Green color ... plus normal whites/greys/silvers/blacks and the carry-over cardinal red. Wonder what the E50 will offer ...
