It looks good, a bit more edgy. At that point, it will have been close to 4 years, so I guess its a good run.

I love the new rear view side mirrors (needed to be larger), and I love the new tailpipe ports.

I agree. However, I prefer the current (bigger) headlights. MB has to be careful not to make them too small (C-Class)..

I don't like the current -non AMG- fog lights that much, IMO they look Chinees (with all the respects...) so this is a good change!

YES, someone who gets it. I love the 221, nicest car to sit in, imho, but really, that shift lever looked like something to control the steering column height, honestly. It is sooooo pathetic. And I hate column shifters. They are non-intuitive, non-manly (), feeble, and not driver-oriented. And its ugly, and all I think of when I think column shifter is minivans, crown vics, old american cars, and all that.
