Sometimes pictures don't do these cars justice. I'm gonna need to see it in person. I'm still pissed about it being called an E class coupe. The steering wheel looks like its from the new C class.

You took the words right out of my mouth...it used to be the Japs stealing from the Germans, now it's the other way around.

Anyone else notice it doesn't look like the rear window goes down. It has some sort of pillar on it. If thats the case then MB really screwed up.

This car is an embarrassment to the MB brand. There is such a thing of over doing it. Why O' Why?

I'd wait for the AMG version before I pass judgment. I hated the CLS, but once I saw the CLS55...

It probably is; apparently this thing's chassis is based upon the C Class, not the E Class.

Car & Driver isn't the National Enquirer, and I'm sure they checked this out before going to print with it. Plus, other publications have reported the same thing.

We'll find out soon enough, and frankly, I hope they're wrong: it would be a huge mistake imo to market a vehicle built on a C-Class chassis as an "E-Class coupe".

I guess I am crazy. I think the car looks pretty good. The rear quarter panel treatment was a nice touch. The AMG version will probably have some serious meat on the back. Give that car the AMG treatment and a much lower stance and it will be a handsome car. My only gripe is that the car looks huge. 208 to 209 produced a much bigger and heavier car and it looks like they are continuing the trend. That car is at least 4,000 lbs.

I am pretty sure all four windows will roll down just like on our CLK's. The design looks identical to me. Anyone read German?

Look at those pics again...very closely. There is a piece on the very back of the rear window. If it goes down then the whole window can't go down. Look at the pic where they show the front and back seats. See that piece on the rear window. Doesn't look like it goes down to me.
I hope its not true....it would be sucky.

I noticed it. The rear window may roll down, except that stupid piece will not.
