Real World Photos Of The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
You've seen the high resolution glossy press photos of the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but if you're anything like me, you'd much rather judge a new model's design based on how it looks in the real world. No professional photographers packing Canon EOS 1DS Mark III's; no studio lighting; but rather ordinary, run-of-the-mill photos of a model that's covered with a healthy dose of dirt. And today, that's exactly the look at the 2010 Mercedes E-Class we're bringing you.

It's just not executed as well as either the C or S Class, they really dropped the ball with the over angular and conservative look, and especially the rear end and wheel arches. I do like these real world pics a lot more than the picture-perfect professional ones though.
Although to me personally it's definitely not as hot a look as the 211 is, especially for the time they were released (i.e 211 was so much of a step forward design wise for the times when it was first debuted), it seems underneath the sheet-metal it's quite an amazing piece of work.
I feel this line will hold true:
"Will either of these be enough to dissuade potential E-Class customers to purchase the model? I doubt it. Overall I think most would agree the new-generation E-Class is an improvement over the old. I will say, however, that for those that weren't already considering the purchase of an E-Class, I don't think the new design is remarkable enough to draw customers into the Mercedes fold either, which I think was the case with the new C-Class"
