too much chrome

After looking forward to the new e for a while, I went to dealer yesterday to get a look. I have to admit I wasn't that impressed, but in fact was rather dissapointed. They just seemed to go crazy with the chrome. Perhaps they will offer the old AMG treatment as a price upgrade later. Somehow it reminded me of the stock brokers add," OK people let's put some lipstick on this pig and move 'em. ". If a design is executed correctly the beauty will stand on it's own. Does Hiedi Klum need cheap plastic earrings?

I personally have no idea what your talking about, the exterior has very little in the way of chrome treatment. The interior has very little as well (the Sport package has a touch more on the center console).
