The outside looks like a 1980's Ford Taurus. I hope it looks better in person. Because the picture is of a DOWDY looking car. Plus I read in Car and Driver that the standard engine will put out less that 250 HP. No thanks.
The new E is all about the interior (very nice) and the electronic driver aids and computing power. The engine is secondary. This is not my idea of a car. I guess I'm a "driver" not a passenger.

It's 150lbs lighter than the 2016 E-Class. It has the same 273 lbt/ft torque (aka acceleration) output that the 2016 model has, and I'm hearing its 0-60 may be 0.2 seconds faster than the previous version. It has a new 9-speed transmission with faster and more aggressive gear shifting.
The idea that this is an "under-powered" vehicle is pretty silly.

It's very obvious they are unifying designs like BMW has been doing. I was expecting this to happen after the awful (my opinion) 2014 facelift with the W212, when they took away the 4 headlight's and joined them together, and gave the sport line that generic grill, I knew things were headed in this direction.
Although I do like the W213 better because of it's smoother looking body and the sport line isn't overly aggressive looking.

Hood not closed fully...
The red car in the photo doesn't need a hood adjustment, it just needs to have the hood fully closed. I see this all the time and it is simply the hood latch not fully engaged. If you open the hood, and close it with a bit more force or by pressing precisely on each of the two latches, the hood closes fully and this gap disappears.

I love AMG, but it seems that MB has given them a lot of influence on their cars these days, I liked it better when AMGs were more exclusive and rare.
