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!

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.

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.
