i love the fender flares and lower fascia and the amg should be even more aggressive. ditch the headlights though.

Okay, I'll step up and take the thumpin....I kinda like it. For some reason....looks a lot wider....maybe just the magazine though.

Gotta get used to that look gents...S will out in Sept pretty close to that....then the rest of the classes will follow suit...if not that exact look, then something similar is comin....the oval lights are a gonner for sure soon.

Here is the paragraph I translated from the website....the rest is gonna have to come from the mag

No more experiments: With the next e-class Mercedes Benz concentrates again on old virtues. How affects the technology and electronics of the volume model, experience in the new AUTO PICTURE. Expenditure 18/2005 is immediately for 1,20 euro in the trade.

Looks like S class probably because that picture was made based on whatever pics they could find of new S class, plus some imagination.
That made up picture looks good to me as well.
I hope new benzes will have less creases on the body--current CLK has too many for its size.

I am no longer a fan of Mercedes-Benz. I pray to God that these are test vehicles of some sort. If not, I'm moving to the BMW forums.

One thing is for sure. IT will come with industry first that will blow the competition away for atleast three more years.

The front of that E-class looks suspiciously like the new Jetta - especially in the bumper details. Look at the sides as well - they lack the aggressive fender flares that the new CLS/S etc are showing as a design theme.
