Can anyone remember when car models used to look different?
MB has finally pushed economies of scale to the limit, why bother to have different body styles for different models, just build one basic body style and claim they're different by making them bigger and smaller. The new "E" is a piece of the S & C class mashed together with a price point between the S and the C, for $65k to $70k I expect more which is why for the first time in 20 years I'll buy a different brand, the new Lincoln that is going into production looks nicer than the E or the S and is priced closer to the E and is much bigger and even comes with a 6 cylinder engine standard. MB is so out of touch with reality it isn't even funny, like most german products, over engineered, over priced and out of touch what their primary market is looking for (USA), the rest of you fools run right over to your MB dealer and plunk down your $65 or $70k for a car whose engine is smaller than my house generator.

I have been perfectly happy with it and when it comes time to trade next year I may get a sedan. The e class is high on my list but I like both the Lincoln MKZ (Black Label edition) and the soon to come Continental and I will certainly take a test drive. The new aluminum Jaguar XF is priced around the e class and will get a look as well. And how about that great Audi a6?
I agree that there are many nice cars out there in the mid-size luxury segment and the e class has the reputation of being one of the best, even if you disagree.

The one design fits all concept is pretty common now a days, BMW and Audi are all doing the same. If its a good design, why change it? Look at the Lexus lineup, all of their sedans look different and they are all ugly.
Lincolns are nice cars, but they are not built like Mercedes. However, its good to have competition to keep Mercedes on their toes. Lincoln also offers a 4 cylinder engine, but price wise, you can probably get a 6 cylinder Lincoln cheaper than what you pay for a 4 cylinder Mercedes.

You really should see a Dr., you're obviously a sociopath who has no life except the one you think you have hear. One thing is clear imo, your mentally unstable beyond argument.

I swear I'm thinking the same thing. Looks like a good tug will get it out of place and I can picture the person who does it trying to gorilla glue it back before the car owner notices lol.

Hyperactive 6 year old on the loose again!
Fellow members, if you'd like to treat yourself to a good laugh just follow this guy, he's had over 15,000 posts on this web-site which obviously shows that he has no life, this is his life. Just disagree with him and it will bring to mind a 6 year old child that must have his way, it really is pathetic as well as pitiful. You really should see a Dr. as there is help out there even for a sociopath like you.

I do agree I don't like how every Benz model looks like one another ... I cannot tell if someone has a c300 sport or an e350 sport on quick glance

rip Mercedes class differentiation
Call it ego or call it what you will, some e class guys/gals choose the e class because it's more of a statement than the c class... And so on with s class etc
I'm not sure what the answer is but I don't think it'll cause me to shop Lincoln in this lifetime ... No offense. I just have nothing in common with Matthew mcconaughey... What is he even saying in those Lincoln commercials??
