1999 mercedes e55
pre-2000 e55
Does anyone else think the look of the Pre-2000 e55 l(1999)ooks better than the 2000 facelift W210s. I kinda like the look, tougher, not so much frills (plastic). Anyone else on this boat, I know this is aesthetics stuff, but hey its not all about smokin the tires.

I like the face-lifted version (though I am biased) but the pre-facelifted's are still very fine, IMO. They BOTH look sharp!

I like the side profile of the 99, but the front fascia of the 00-02. I have an 01 myself.
