E-Class W212 awarded top safety pick by the IIHS
Sorry if this is a repost.
The W212 and the Hyundai Genesis earned "Top safety pick" by the IIHS.

Kudos to Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai. Keep up the good work.

It's no secret that earning a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety will boost a car's street cred, and now the engineers at Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz can stand tall knowing that the Genesis and E-Class sedans have just received this prestigious honor.
Hyundai launched its flagship Genesis in 2009, but the automaker made slight changes to the roof structure for the 2010 model year, which has (obviously) greatly improved the crash ratings. Thus, the Top Safety Pick award only applies to Genesis models built after January 2010. The Benz, on the other hand, has been on sale for decades, but this is the first time that the E-Class has garnered IIHS's top rating.

Nice High-Res pics.
Friggin' Benz is a tank, looks like the car was hit by a shopping cart. Literally looks like this crash that sends most cars to the recycling bin/crusher, merely requires the E to need a bit of paintless dent removal....
