Any new info on arrival times?
I wonder what 525bhp is going to do to the acceleration?
I am starting to get used to the w212...



MODS: Should we have a own section for the W212 AMG so we can start speculating BIG TIME!!!

The Godfather

sigh.... as it's been said before, hate it now, love it in 6 months.

Would be interesting to fit those led fog lights into current w211 amg bumpers.

I can be done now, plenty of aftermarket LED strip companies
seen it on older porsches and audi done nicely,,
here are GERMAN HELLA LED RUNNING DAY LIGHTS

gonna do it to mine soon too..

the front of the new E class is great,,

its the rear that is UGLY as a Aborted fetus run over by a mack truck.
or

Fell out of the ugly tree and hit all the branches on the way down, lol

christ, like a mutant genetic hybrid between HYUNDAI
and HONDA in a bad way..no imagination with the taillights,,

and there are too many damn body panel creases like the JAP cars have now, lost the beautuful flow of the W 211

I have seen in person the 212 car, and the interior is SIN too,
alot cheaper with alot of plastic, and fake metal, and aluminum,
square corners that end abruptly
and lots of cheap carryovers from the CHRYSLER 300 and C 63

if they would give the car the C 63 rear end, and the S63 interior
would be a perfect merc.

I think maybe like frankenstein I will combine all 3 for the perfect merc
lol

W212 FRONT with C 63 burly rear end and S 63 interior..

whoa. ! I think I just let one go lol

AMG Dictator

That's just the sports package from the E brochure isn't it? Let's hope that the real AMG is more agressive.

Has anyone seen the preliminary torque numbers on the W212 AMG yet? I love the torque curve in my E55 and I'll be curious to see how the new one compares, even with 525HP.

MJ50

do it! and post DIY instructions...

storm

you got it,, man

its on the never ending list,, lol

hamann69

front isnt looking to bad imo..

MJ50

it's bit too pcar style...
once 212 is out, i'd get the factory parts and retrofit int ours...

intellilogic

Aren't they adding LSD? possible race launch... That gearbox is really going to help. It could be quite a bit faster than our cars.

...Its all ugly! I love my front lights, they are of the sexy.

MJ50

looks like there will be fogs AND driving LED lights...

UT_AMG

So true. I felt that way about the S-Class.

I Like Soup

Jeebus I hope they don't put those LEDs in the MIDDLE of a mesh grille...looks out of place and retarded.

dom7474

thats what i see

Akademiks

I think anyone who pays anything close to msrp for one of these Hyundais is crazy.

Oh... wait, it's a Merc.

The cars a mess, and those LEDs (way to be original MB ) well to borrow a line from N.W.A.: "thats wacky wack too"

liquiddi

They never should have gone away from the round head lights and the rear quarter panels are a "what were they thinking". They should have improved on the current model. The W211 is a great car that can be improved upon. What they did was wipe it out and now are producing a way overpriced Camry.

storm

I still feel the S class new bodystyle is ugly as sin in the rear..
and the rar fenders are looking like cheap stamped Japanese steel you find on honda's

the front is nice though,,

storm

EXACTLY
well said my friend

totally true

MB_hunter

Well, KICHERER has come up with the great idea!

Wow!! ^^

The rears not too bad either...

BerBer63

OT: Who added the LED Daytime running lightso their line-up first Audi or Porsche?

B.E.R.U.A.N.G

IMO the rear lamp looks like a Hyundai Sonata....but i think it's still better than the new 7 Series.....that's an Epic FaiL!

liquiddi

The bottom line is the W211 is in the league of Rolls Royce as far as classic design goes. The W212 is in the league of Toyota and Hyundai. MB should have left one of their cars with a traditional look. That would have been the E class in my mind with all the history it had. Just take a look at the E classes from history here: http://www.edmunds.com/mercedesbenz/eclass/history.html you get my point.

zivicirl

i personally dont really like the new look.. both of the W211 are more aggressive and just smoother.. god i hate how companies are trying to make cars more futuristic and failing.. Audi R8 is the only car that was done properly for futurism purposes.
