A lady at a gas station told me that my Audi looks great with the LEDs.
I said Thank You!

Yes, a guy at home depot asked if the LED came with the car or I added them. He liked them. Indeed, I saw a nice E350 on 880 today and LED look awesome. Never had chance to see them on own car tho.

You mean you dont set up a video camera to record while you drive by it several times? Or give your camera to a friend a tell them to take pictures of you while you drive away and back? lol
I used to do this all the time when I was younger. I think I should start it again.

Yes, we can't see many nice exterior features of our cars, and it is true, you can't recognize your car if somebody is driving it.

LOLLL. That is epic.

I've gotten lots of compliments and stares on mine actually. The LED's seem to attract a lot of attention. I'm sure that'll change once everyone starts jumping on the band-wagon, and now that the C-Class even has them standard, due to EU Laws requiring them on all cars.

Just last weekend. there were three 212s at the same stop light. Mine is blk and the others are white and gold. Needless to say we were all looking at each other. The white looked really nice.

Yeah, as they get everywhere, the impact will lessen. E-Classes have always stood their ground, regardless of how many are on the roads, and been nice cars, as long as it's a clean and sharp example.

I'm starting to see more Luxury models on the roads, which is a great thing. If there can be more of a mixed designation on the roads (Luxury/Sport), then it keeps things more interesting.

The most unexpected comment I've gotten on my car happened over the weekend. I had just parallel parked and gotten out of the car. As I did a guy on a motorcycle was driving by and shouted "nice car!"

I guess this shape of LED was introduced for Audi first. So naming Mercedes as Audi is a price being behind. So I guess it was reason why Mercedes changed LED shape for new models. And BMW has own shape as well.

2010 E350 Luxury Sedan, Engine 272 (V6)
Cool Very good ones

Have owned Saab 900 Turbo, Nissan 300Zx, Rx-7 convertible, etc., but get more positive comments about my '10 E350 sedan's styling than on others combined. One woman said "Most beautiful car I have ever seen."
Just last week, came out of store and guy was walking around it while waiting for wife to come out. He was very impressed with the car.
Even had a lawyer who drives a BMW 5 series to comment positively on it.
Depsite what some say, the 2010 E Class styling is excellent!
