Note on the last Pic there is BOTH an MB emblem/badge on the top of the grille AND a hood ornament on top.

i cant wait to see what the official ones will look like. Looks like the grill has been changed and the headlights position tweaked but what do I know.

Whats up with the hood ornament AND the grill MB emblem?

Hood ornament and badge

Good spot Barry. I think they are trying to match the 07 S Class which has a similar hood ornament and badge embedded in the grill. I just bought a badge which I am going to put on my car, like my old 240 D. It's from an older model. I will post pictures after I do it. If the grill for the new E fits, it might be a nice retrofit.

other changes

The steering wheel looks like it changed as well. Or at least it’s different from mine.

Maybe it's because I'm use to seeing the W211's with the current mirros, but I don't quite like how they look on the E.. The look good on the CLS cause that's the only way we know it... you kinda get used to something I guess.

it's consistent with prior MB lineups... they all usually share the same mirror.

I guess by the time the new S grows one me, and they introduce a diesel version, I'll have learned to like'm!

Next round - either the new E (W212) or an S.

Nah, the friggin’ car is fantastic, period! It’s just I like to try to stay ahead of the masses here in Scottsdale. Lease is up 10/08 (36/45000). Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the 212 was slated for ’09 and, if so, should be deliverable late ’08 therefore fits into my choice range. If not, well the S should be bug free by then (I hope).

Good plan... and BELIEVE ME I hear you about Scottsdale, I dread going into there with the E cause I feel like I'm driving a Honda Accord over there... they are about that ubiquitous!

Move to Queen Creek. You'd be King of the Hill out here.

Then again, you'd have to buy, at a bare minimum, a truck, just for show!

There's a couple of W210s here in the hood, a couple of brand new Vettes, tons of Harleys, a Viper, and one guy has 4 hot rods! One SC Lexus and then the run o' the mill cars.

I don't venture to SDL...too scary! :v
