Haha, pretty cool! My only complaint is the Bangle-esque headlights.

Thumbs up

Nice. I sensed the W221 S-class was either an inspiration or a starting point for many of these drawings...is that true?

I felt the CLK here was too much of a 2-door W221 and the C-class was too much of a 3/4 scale W221.

I liked the E, partially because the design was more original.

You're absolutely right W221 and W216 inspired those drawings. The E Class has more subtle fenders and I'm really pleased with the design, but my fav is the C Class sedan, chrome rims and unusual colour...maybe I'm having too much coffee, LOL.

Will try a C class without the bulky fenders, but I have to find some outstanding feature for its design. W202 had the distinctive tail lights and W203 has the even more distinctive headlights, which set a trend among many car designs.

I'm working on an SL right now during my free time, but I can't beat the current design yet. It's a tough challenge. Maybe next weekend I'll come up with some ideas.

Cheers!

BMW FTW
Put some classic double round E class headlights on the car and it would be great. Cant take away the trademark of the E or people will confuse it with a C or an S. Its going to be very hard to redo the E class its a timeless design. The 07 facelift is on the edge of pushing the E class from classic to modern anymore and I dont think I will personally like it.

The first one you just recently posted is too much like the LaCrosse.

Maybe you could try doing the quad headlight idea, except make the headlights more boxy looking. Similar to the new Lexus GS headlights.

Take your time, I know you're busy.
