E Class with Panorama Roof

Saw my first E Class today with the Panorama Roof. It a 500 with sport package in black. A sharp car. Didn't have the solar panels though. Curious if they add or detract from the overall looks? Anyone seen the solar panels yet?

Some info on the solar panels:

Solar Panel :

• Includes 3 rows of 8 silicon solar cells that are positioned at the wind deflector and rear edge of the glass sunroof panel..

The solar panels are only really obvious when you look directly down onto the roof from above. They are covered by the same dark glass and only go over portions covering the cars frame metal so they don't effect the view from inside. From across the street or casually looking I don't think you'd notice them.

Anybody with a nice photo of an E500 with the panorama sunroof? Please post picture. TIA!

I have a friend overseas that would like to see what it looks like. Personally seen it at the dealership and think it's a must have option.
