In case any of you have not seen the "Spy Photos" of the new W211 E Class, check this link out :

MB Spy W211 E-Class Photos

I think it looks pretty good. CL Type headlights... Sleeker lines approaching S-Class looking....

 

Looks great. I now have something to aspire too. I'll show my boss and see if he'll give me a raise to cover the payment diff....

 

I think it looks pretty good too. Interior looks nice as well. Another thing I really like is the design of the gauge's, I just wish they would give us more info like oil pressure. If you have seen the R129 SL's gauge's you know what im talking about. It also seems that MB is moving toward rotary knobs for some of the HVAC and radio controls just like in the updated 2002 M-class. Sorry for the big pics.


Also I heard MB has addressed some of the concerns that they have been using cheap materials in some of their latest cars, so the interior of the W211 should be of very high quality.

 

Where did you find these. They are new to me and I've searched everywhere for updated 02 E photos.

Thanks for posting them.

 

Those are all the pics I have. I found these pics at another MB forum, im not sure where that guy got the interior pics from.

 

Wow! Nice pics. What was the other forum u got it from? MBNZ
Do you have any more pics?

BTW, is the first one a clock in the gauge cluster? Whats that doing there.

 

Those are all the pics I have. Sombody posted these pics at mercedesshop.com
The first gauge looks like a clock to me too, it really doesn't belong there. I have a watch for the time. I want more valuable info like oil pressure, oil, temp, coolant temp, etc... I don't want to scroll up and down a little screen to find these things, they should be right in front of me.

 

Call me crazy, but it looks just like a Lexus GS430. Lexus has always copied Mercedes, perhaps they got spy pics of the new E class before they came out with there new GS. Either way though, I don't like it. It looks like a bug, I love the traditional mercedes look of the 4 circular headlights like on the CLK, current E class, etc.

 

I wonder if they will offer a real sport package with a suspension upgrate to compete with BMW and get the enthusiast in the showroom.

 

I sure hope so.

 

Looks good. Too bad my recent accident didnt' total my car. Or I would just get the money from insurance and buy a new E-Class

 

It looks pretty good in the pictures, but I must admit it has a bit of a japanses feel to it. But, it prob. looks a lot better in person, so I'll reserve judgement till then. When is the official release date for this car?

 

Looks like both my E320 and CLK320 will be outdated in the same year

 

A new body-styled Mercedes may be introduced but no Mercedes is ever outdated... their timeless masterpieces!!

 

An '86 190D is not a timeless masterpiece. But it IS a piece, alright
