I'm not a fan of the front grill and headlights. Everything else looks great!

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
The relocation of the clock to the center of the vehicle dash is nice. No opinion on the loss of the Ponton lines on the hind quarter. The front end as a whole, especially the grill on the red wagon, is horrendous.

Is this the facelifted E63 or all-redesigned E63?

Not feeling the front end at all, except the headlights. Looks like the redesigned C63 will go towards that same direction, round lines. It will make me proud to own the current gen more than the new gen. Lol

Good lord what did they do to the poor car, at 1st I was thinking its a Hyundai. I'm sorry but it looks horrific. Huh I guess it was nice while it lasted.

At least they fixed the ugliness of the front headlights. Shame the rear still looks off

None of those pics were showing a E63 model. The E63 front is going to look pretty nice based on the spy/camo shots so far. Overall I think the E redesign is pretty nice.

The new headlights look awful.

Current E class headlights look fantastic IMO.

It looks ok in the pictures, but probably will look much better in person.

What? 4 seat? like the CLS? I guess it must have 5 seat option. I assume this is just a base version of E class. when it comes to the AMG, it will be all different

2012 C63 coupe
If I want a 2005 Acura RL I know where to go now

I'm not particularly impressed. MB is going a "softer" design route where everyone else is getting more aggressive... this perpetuates the "old man" image of MB in my opinion.

Makes me wonder what the coupe will look like, if they're keeping an E coupe in the lineup.

"Softer" is the proper and accurate description for this face-lift E class.
