That is one ugly sum*****. The rear side window shape is particularly awful. This must some kind of test mule. Or sumpin'.

LEDs will probably be part of a package. Those quad fogs are the same as the W212 E class. You get the option of quad fogs, or LEDs with the premium package

I agree. They look like an Accord Coupe which has never been described as a beautiful piece of work.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I think the eyelids are still there. Looks like they just curve as they go towards the grill. Maybe I'm wrong lol.

But I agree that the fogs hafta go but I think the car still looks pretty good.

Never mind.. I retract my previous statement ^ LOL. I just saw some more shots of it and realized it looks pretty ugly IMHO. It looks like the rear is just too large for the rest of the car

This must be a joke...glad I got a 2008, they keep making this car uglier... Sometimes change for change's sake is not a good thing at all.

I like the quad fogs on the E, but I'm not sure about the C yet. I don't like the headlights. They look like the E ones but connected.

Now that someone has said it, the windows do look an awful lot like the Accord coupe!

Agreed, but isn't it pretty much the same with the current W204 sedan?

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I don't care for the rounded bumpers. I also don't like how the side rear window trim meets at that point in the rear.

Man that window line is so ugly and accord looking
I wish they went with the same look as my e coupe its SO aggressive yet classy. *(the e sedan has a more upright window line that is so ugly.) Let's just pray that its not a FIXED PIECE OF GLASS. Oh no!

That upward kink of the rear window is totally uncharacteristic of MB coupes. I was hoping it will have a very subtle downward dip like on the CL and E-coupe which looks so much elegant and sleeker.
Along with the front bumper it looks like a basterdized old generation BMW 3-series coupe.
I am very disappointed.

Yeah..not looking too hot. I'm hoping it's just a combination of the color, lack of production-ready details, and horrible wheels.
