The W212 Will Be The Best E Ever

WHY?

i always thought, the day when MB is able to combine the understanded-yet-expensive look of the w210 with the performance-laden w211...it will have a hit on its hand.....

looking at the w212 http://www.carspyshots.net/showthrea...t=1392&page=36

looks like They have !

ITS DEFINETLY UPSIzed, while maintaining the family resemblence ( leaning more towards the S-class though)

The grille is actually made to look like to STAND OUT like the redesigned w211 version...

what r u opinions?

.just look at the wider stance and the wheels pushed forward like that...-- that screams of only 1 thing -- THIS IS THE PEFORMANCE e-class...THEY ARE GOING SQAURE ONTO 5 series territory ...

I like the look... i m intested to get one...anyone else?

That's just a bad photoshop using the W204 C-Class. Look at those stupid double fog lights. The real one will not look like that, maybe some similarities in the headlights though.

definitely a photoshop!! Have you guys noticed the dual exhaust is like a BMW 3-series exhaust? And the headlamp is awful small. Bad photoshop!!!

I don't like the front design of the w212. I think MB might have peaked with the w211.

dare say, i think the e class has been getting better ever iteration. w124 was a classic, no one can touch, but i think w212 will be a hit..its mercedes bread and butter business, they aren't going to **** up the e class

fits my tastes

1) its upsized

2) its looks expensive and almost like a jaguar

3) it WILL perform

You dare to compare MB to a putty tat?

Are you saying you want a knock-off instead of an original.

I hope that means the AMG (6.3?) version will be along shortly after that...the lease on my E63 ends in 5/2010 and would love to see what the W212 version brings along for fun.

I'm a big fan of the W221 S-class (actually ordered one, an S550 4matic...but decided to get the smaller AMG to enjoy driving instead) and the W204 C-class, so am naturally eager to see if Mercedes-Benz continues this string of pleasing designs (IMHO) with the W212.
