We laughed at the IS-F's exhaust but now...

we can laugh at our new E's fake tips...
saw it in person, looks like it's not connected to the actual pipe at all...

exterior:
they could have done better seriously dissapointed in the front look, the
sport package bumper is way too big like a snow plow, the rear it's perfect they finally figured out a sticking out bumper (aka C-class) is not the way to go. there's one exception, those tips design style does look a little too much like the Toyota LS.
having the door so high, with small windows, gives this car a small feel of the Chrysler, maybe that's where the design cues came from??? just first thing i've noticed is the really small side windows.

interior:
definitely a huge step forward, looks good, feels good, except small side windows...

size:
bigger, did i mention it's bigger almost feels like the S-class, can easily be confused with one by the masses.
of course with size, comes weight which of course will be felt when driving...

overall, good package, but no wow factor when first seen...

just my 2 pennies

I just looked at the Coupe, and the tips are connected. The IS-F you can see light through them, not so with the E 350 coupe.
