NEW 2010 E Class UGLY??

Has any one seen the first pics of the 2010 E Class? Is it me or did Merc tried too hard on its new design? Also the insdie just don't look pleasing to the eye. The front looks so so, but the rear looks like some Huydai sedan . Though the coupe looks ok. I have been waiting to purchase a E63 for over a year. I was waiting to see if the new E was going to look at least close to the 08 C class, I can decide now. After I saw the new pics in the Motor Trend mag. No need to wait, I bought the 08 E63 with Performance Package last week. It will be here on Monday or Tuesday.

I saw the pics and personally I do not like the new version. it looks like a new Seebring which is how chrysler killed the hottest selling convertible.

Spot on theteeman. I think some of the new MB designs were still shared with the Chrysler brand. MB sold all of Chryler only last year or two. Ususally a brand new car starts its design and everything 4 or 5 years prior to being offered for sale and thats the time when the 2 car companys still share designs and stuff.
