2013 E-Class: Any changes?

Does anyone know if Mercedes is planning a MCE (mid cycle enhancement) for the 2013 E-Class?

Thanks in advance!

Nick

For North American models, the 2013 E class does not receive a facelift and instead carries on the design cues and elements found on the original Model Year 2010 E class.

The 2014 E class will receive the facelift. There are tons of spy pics floating around, but one of the biggest changes is going to be single-piece headlamps instead of the current 4 eyed face of the E class.

2013 changes are very minimal. Mainly notable is the blue I/C display graphic and COMAND colors (IMO look a bit loud/harsh and cheesy but I had a short time with them), and a new white (Polar).

There are some pretty revealing real test pics of the 2014 facelift E's floating around. They are cladded, but you can make out an all new grille as well. IMO the current grille and front may be impossible to top as I think it's really one of the nicest on the roads, but the new grille I'm impressed by as well, so M-B's designers are obviously hard at work. It's not as mean/aggressive as the current grille, looks more rounded and smiley/happy, less stately, more sporty.

I've been meaning to post 'em but too lazy.
