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.

Yeah it looks beautiful but I'm still not sold on the back. This pic of the rear with exhaust times and chrome lining does look WAY better than the ones with the basic bumper that were revealed in Detroit.

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"
