W211 Wagon rear looks like the old!

Wonder why MBZ made the rear light section of the new 2004 E-Class W211 Wagon look so much like the old W210? The W211 should have the same look.

Personally, I like the back of the old W210 E Klasse compared to the new W211 E Klasse. The rear of the W210 looks more aggressive while the new w211 looks more subdued and sleek. Also all MB cars now have the same (kinda) looking lights.. and that bothers me. The all have the same basic shape. It used to be the C Klasse had a small triangle, the E Klasse was the old box type, and the S Klasse has a large triangle with the 3 stripes (?) running across from it. It looked better when they had them all different... I still miss the W210 E Klasse....

That new wagon in black on charcoal is stunning, imho, notwithstanding the similarity of the back end to the current e wagon.
