Thanks for posting, but that would be the CLE class, which derives from the E class and not the E class itself.

Looks and sounds badass, though.

Yeah, I just caught that too.. I agree, very nice looking car. I wonder if the new E is going to have similiar lines.

Wasn't the CLS originally called the CLE back in the spy pictues days????

These magazines need to get their facts straight.

I believe that suicide doors open only when the front door is open. In other words, you can never open the rear suicide doors independently or without the front doors open first. There should be a lever inside for the rear door.

Its ok. Looks a little too much like the CLS in my opinion. Not to say that the CLS isn't a very nice and attractive car, but it kind of sucks how Benz's are starting to look more and more like spaceships. If those pics of the "2008 C-Class" are legit, I'd rather have an E60 M5 than a future model Mercedes.

I think it looks hot. The suicide doors are perfect. I rarely use the back seat of my E55. This car would be perfect for me. If tehy equip it with all of the amenities I have on my E55 (Parktronic,Keyless Go, Drive dynamic seats,etc)
then I'll will buy one. The size seems ideal and the lines on the car look like they took all of the best stuff from the CLS and left offf the crappy rear end!
Bravo

It should be a good seller with the better looks than the c-class its based on and the better access to the back seats than the clk. I'll bet it's $5 to $7k over a comparable clk.

That car is ugly. I like the looks of the CLS, but that car is just plain ugly.

When the hell did rear suicide doors get trendy?? The Mazda RX8 has been a miserable failure and is the only car I can think of with that setup. It would be much cooler if it was a true 2-door. What a waste. Basically a useless CLS...
