The outside shape of the taillights looks like it, I wonder if the partnership with Nissan in the past did anything or if I am mistaken, what MB models in the past had that shape of the taillights? (not talking about the graphics of course, like the MB star in the taillights for example)

To me from the article, this is a major improvement:
Trunk space has increased from 13.1 cubic feet to 19 cubic feet on the new model. Mercedes also promises slightly more front headroom and rear legroom. That's good, because the last-gen E-Class had roughly the same amount of space inside as the C-Class.
Interior space now should be similar to the LWB E Class that is sold in China. The trunk, an increase of almost 50%, is now right up there with the BMW 5 18.7 and more than the Audi A6, 13.7,Toyota Camry 15.1 and Honda Accord 16.7!

Motortrend have some nice things to say about the W214. Good build quality remains but did not like the exterior design. What is up with the build in selfie camera and the disco ambient lights sync to your music?

The front end looks awkward. Too big and horizontal and with a massive front overhang, kind of like that obnoxious new XM suv. The front end’s proportions lead it to look like it belongs on an SUV and not a sleek sedan. And from the side it really looks nothing like a BMW. And the overall shape does look like they did angle the front and rear kind of weirdly to make it more aerodynamic, but while trying to retain a traditional 3 box design. Guess that’s a trade off for a shared platform. The end result is a shape that looks more like the new accord and less like a 5 series.

I actually think the camera would be helpful. There’s been a few times where I’ve actually done some work/business calls in my S when traveling.
