The E-Class voted to be the best looking car in the world by Autobid ? I think they were a little partial because it's a German car

Agreed; both CL and CLS are much better looking.

I'd say you would have a hard time beating either of those cars. However, keep in mind that the German market has had this car a bit longer and the design has likely "matured" in their eyes. We'll se if that happens in the US.

Yeah, I wonder how much M-B payed them for that.

That's absurd. Right now the car is in the debating stage as to whether it's a good looking car at all. Remind me to never take what AutoBild says seriously.

I love the front, I'm just having a tough time digesting the profile and rear of the car.

they weren't eligible though... "the competing vehicles – all of which made their debut in the market in the last year –"

in fairness, it wasn't the magazine that voted for it, it was the readers... "Some 100,000 readers of motoring magazine AUTO BILD have voted the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class the best-looking car in the world. "



personally i am not a huge fan of the re-design, i think they could have done a much better job, though admittedly i have yet to see one in person...

Any car dressed up like that would look awesome. But that's absurd that it got voted best. The CLS, CL, S in my opinion easily kill it in looks.
