What do you guys think? Did you notice the LED fog lamps!!!!

I personally can't wait...but this nonsense about us copying Lexus is crap...I am sure that the design team will come up with something new to set the next E apart...those two oval headlamps created quite a machine, it's only Mercedes' best seller...wonder what it will be this time...

Let's see: you like googaws like LED foglights, but you criticize "copying Lexus?"

Mercedes learned the lesson that googaws sell cars VERY shortly after Lexus arrived in the market and has been doing a lot of following ever since.

I agree, too bad, as if there was ever an instance of "all show, no go," Toyota is it.

Rectangular exhaust outlets suggest angular headlights will be on the other end of the car.

+1...not something I'd jump to trade my 211 in for, but I'm sure it'll look better in person.

Can someone please define "googaws" ?

As for the topic at hand, I'll wait for the reveal. Looks a little ordinary/plain, but I'm sure the lines, headlights, and taillights will give the car some more character. I'm liking the angular exhaust though.

Pats, couldn't agree with you more...thanks for chiming in because I didn't feel like arguing with lkchris...i don't know what me liking led fog lamps has to do with me claiming that Lexus historically has copied Mercedes but who knows - it is a disfunctional world after all....
