The Next Generation E-Class.
I`m giving you an example of how precise Huckfeldt was with his impression
of the W221 S-Class a year before it debuted! man, was this guy accurate
or what!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this is his impression of the W212 E-Class. I believe we can pretty much expect the W212 E-Class to appear this way. Looks good to me!
The currant E-Class.

looks better with the side body line Huckfeldt included in his interpretation.

the round headlights with the new design direction. The belt-line moldings are also a thing of the past, that might have started with the new S-Class already. Here is another ps.

Don't like it now, but when the time comes, it may be the best choice out there..
sad how we're regressing in auto design.. The MB's of the late 50's and early 60's (as with their American counterparts) were the high of design and style.

Mercedes all the way!
well, it was already gone from the CLS... 
while i understand the point of a side moulding, the thing is it has never saved my *** or my $$$ before, so i guess it just isn't that useful.
just like when Merc ditched the rubber wide mouldings they used to have and switched to plastic... plenty of people were complaining then too.. but whatever... =)
i don't quite like the second picture: the headlights don't "flow" enough for me - looks almost like an Airtrek:

Form over function wasn't the German way, but it's sure the BMW and Audi way now, so it wouldn't be surprising for Mercedes to join that merry fashionista party. Aftermarket side bumper strips are often available for cars that don't come with them, though they look like doodoo on cars not designed for them.

Oh Daaang, I really hope the picture is at least almost real. I love that look. I would say for sure if it looks like that I am buying a E55 in that body model. Those lines on the hood and the extra set of lights is exactly what that S-class was missing. Otherwise I have to agree they look identical. Which makes me believe ( sadly ) that it must be PS.
If not PS though, what year is a new body due for the E anyway? I need a new car in early 2007.

From this pic, the Mercedes looks like a direct rip-off of the Lexus.. in which case, if MB does indeed make this nose, it's going to be a sad day when the Leader copies the follower!
