Driving next to an e63 S amg and...

I dunno if I like the body style so much. Front end is nice, side profile is blah as is rear. I think the short trunk really does no good for it at all. I'm not a huge fan of our e55front end, (dang headlights) but man, our side profile and rear own the e63. Do there agree? To be honest when it's time to upgrade I may go to an audi s something.

I'm with you. My wife said it looked like an accord... I went "****. You're right." And the car was done for me. The only 4 door Benz I can see myself in is the CLS or S-class. The E and C don't lokke appealing to me. It sucks bc their drivetrains and interior are great. Just looks like they lost their way with the styling. I'll probably pick up a new M3 in a year or so.

I don't have any issue with the E63, except that the front bumper reminds me of a samurai mask.

The C-class rear end, on the other hand, is downright ugly.

Im no fan of that updated front end and stumpy looking trunk. the S6 is a monster 25k cheaper and has IMO better exterior styling. And if were comparing the rs7 is faster, has better fuel efficiency and IMO better looks ( has that CLS vibe ) then the new E amg S for the same price tag.

PS: If you could put the 15 63 interior in my 05 55...Id be set for a decade

Those headlights were aged the minute they hit the lots.

Are you crazy!!! I think they look so subtle and un-presuming... Check out the 2015 C-63. That will be my next car!

The body style/lines might never age... But I definitely got a few more grey hairs taking it through the twisties!

For me the new updated W212 has just too much chrome. Looks just like the new Honda Accord. I still think the best car to replace my E55 will be the F10 M5. I am just disappointed in the new E class even the new CLS, interior navigation looks like a tablet.

Nope. Don't like the droopy taillights or how the bumper looks melted in the middle.

They are ok. I like the E55 better. Just be happy u saw one. I saw an SL55 kompressor the other day and it was the first k I have seen in 2 years. Have not seen an e55 for 5 years in Indy.

They are the only thing I dislike about the stock car.

I'll probably take some flak for saying this, but there's a '14 E63-S in my neighborhood with the factory flat grey paint, and it looks cheap as hell.

The new fascia has grown on me, but it's still missing that edgy MB styling somehow.

Well it's just a real bummer, the 63 has amazing power train. And would have really liked to upgrade to one in a year or 2. But I cant justify it did to the looks. The exhaust outlets even look bad... You can barely notice emm

Can't disagree with that one, M5 is better looking. more aggressive & sporty. however, e63 s comes out ahead in performance

And, it looks even better in person. At first I didn't like them, but once I test drove and really looking at them....
