Cool E-class Facelift pics

I stole these from the E-class forum
I wont send a link there because a few of them are speculating silly things. You can see obvious changes in the front grille, front spoiler (see the foglight surround), side mirrors, and rear light cluster (ala CLK facelift)

Anyone else notice something i've missed? *edit* added more pics

It looks more like the sport package on the E rather than a facelift

maybe. But look at the front spoiler - the sports package doesn't look like that. It looks more like the elegance spoiler, but it isn't the same.

here's more - the last pic must be photochopped, but compare the mirrors of the first and last. The 'new' ones look longer compared to the current ones.

I am not a fan of that new taillamp design, the new CLK has the same basic desgin, imo, it just makes the rear end look very drab and dull.

so they've perhaps reduced the number of blades in the grille and (for the pictured mule) added a ton of black tape to the grille-surround? aside from the foglamp ports, it doesn't look all that different to me.
