Interesting. The front looks alot better than on the Spy Photo's, although it looks completely different and I'm assuming the Sedan will get the bigger grill appointed to the Luxury Sedans.

Whatever that creature of a thing is in these Pictures, yech.

a car
looks better (front-end wise) than the spy pics... that's for sure.
it's much more angular than the current E, and I'm sure it'll grow on people.

as for the picture itself, that rear-end is damn ugly and definitely looks like a mazda.

I think that is an amazing looking wagon

Although, the photo looks like a 2 door, which makes no sense. There are no hinges at the rear wing? If it were rear suicide doors, that would be super amazing!
