Tired of Jangy/Jrcart...Check out the official new E

Even I cannot take much more of the incessant bickering, so let's get back to why we are here.............The new E Class:

Unfortunately, maybe Jangy vs Jrcart is better.

Hmm...that may take some getting used to. Not sure I like the interior. And what are those on the front inlets?...LEDs? They look kind of random there. I guess what will ultimately decide it is was kind of powerplant they stick in the AMG!

Interior looks way too much like the 5 Series. Exterior is very ordinary. At least I won't mind owning an out dated body style .

I'll reserve final judgement until I see one in person, but from the pics I've viewed so far, if I was in the market for an E I'd ****** up an new leftover '08 for 25k under sticker right now.

All the new E classes have taken a bit to get used to but I dunno about the new ones. The airdams look old style on that body. And I've always hated the double fogs on each side. But, new is new.

Looks great to me. I link the interior very much. It's going to have S-Class style ambient lighting too.

Where did the OP get the pictures?

Hey Chris, good to hear from you. I'll assume you are responding in an attempt to challenge my driving expertise. Unfortunately, you will never be on my level, so ****-off and die.

OnT: I can only hope that these pictures are not representative of the new E, especially the AMG. They really do look pretty pathetic.

BTW, I just read an article that said the "wealthy" are not purchasing or driving their high-end vehicles as much in these unfavorable economic times for fear of being seen as insensitive to the "less fortunate". Haha......well, are you insensitive?

I'm confused now. Is Huyndai copying Mercedes or Mercedes copying Huyndia?

Audi guys are gonna be all over us on the "glued on" looking LEDs.

Other than that, when they finally get off their A's and put in the TT's, I'm in.

I like the exterior, but the interior is missing the curves in the dashes like the W211

somethings better left unsaid ...
I knew the interior was going to be great but this is ... GOD it's beautiful ! ... would you looke at that wood panelling ?? it looks like an old school Jaguar .. I love it, I absolutely love .. and for BMW interior-fans, they've done it better than BMW ! .. but what the hell happened to the rear end what's up with those tail lights ??

but I do agree the whole thing needs time to grow on people .. I'm not very sold out either .. but then again, almost every E class went through the same

none
I see alot of old MB style hidden in there, espeically the door. I have to agree with most that the car looks hundyai from the back, and maybe camry from the front. It also doesn't help to look at the base model with the tiny wheels and such. Kinda how a C300 is blah and a C63 is wow. All in all I'll take a W211...
