I'll be trading in my 2011. You gotta stay current, right? I hope they give it a HUD this time.

I have never liked an elephant sized MB logo on the MB sedans and I dislike the way front bumper cover and grill is exposed .
Current styling -bumper and grill - is what all the MB models should be .These should be separated not united By the time facelift comes up we all knew that we will have no longer quad lights . Honestly, composite lights look more eye catching as C218 CLS's but it's sad to see one of the most distinctive features of E Class goes

I love the W212 and I'm planning on keeping it as long as it will last.
I like to think of MB as a vehicle that I can keep and not trade up.
It seems that MB is pushing leasing and exchanging 33 months. Instead of the well built vehicle that your kids inherit .

I was curious to see what others thought. I'm not thrilled with the grill work, but then again I'll see it in person and may love it....

I really don't think thats a regular E.. my guess is thats an AMG.. I saw other renderings of the 2014 and they are not as nice. I still think our current w212 is better looking, much more aggressive.

I'm with you hype...

I'm thinking about keeping my 2011 as part of the permanent collection.

I'm not interested in the Direct injection or the straight bar LED's. I have most of the options including the color speedo display .

My wife has her own opinion on my vehicle collection, I want a 911 too
