Just not feeling the looks of it. I'm not even liking the front end anymore. I think the C class actually looks a lot better. Granted, I think the current E class looks the best of all still.

Still not sold...lines are too rough and concept/ honda/ hyundai-ish :-(

Its hard to improve on the 211, but then again, I remember how much more I liked my e39 when the 03 w211 e55 was first available...time will tell.

I love the first 3/4's of the car, but I'm just not sold on the roofline and rear fender treatment. Its just a little too "formal" and upright for my taste. I prefer the faster roofline of the w211.

Love the center console with the Ferrari still buttons that are canted towards the driver.

Personally, the only thing I really like about the styling is the front end. The more I look at the lines of the rest of the car, the less I like it. In my opinion, they are pulling a BMW 5 series with this model and creating something that looks worse than the previous model...

Yup. There was talk on this a while back when the new style logo was found in one of their brochures, but wasn't final. Guess it is now. I personally liked the old ones more.

yeah the interior looks cheap too not as nice as the w211,,
its carried over the the DAIMLER CHRYSLER days,,
derrived from the CHRYSLER 300 and the C 63 AMG

all the auto mags agree too they say it has way too much plastic and looks kinda chinsey...compared to the other cars in MB lineup

those side panel creases too are horrific,, I talked to a high end Body shop today that does Ferraris and MB and LAMBO's and he said those creases are next to impossible to repair as well
and those TAILPIPES.. ewwww

that and the HYUNDAI rear end kills it for me

the front end on the w212 is nice though and on a W211 would be perfect.. and doable too.. hmmmmmmmmmm

too bad..had potential..

the back is the only thing that disgusts me with this car and the w11 oval tailpipes are just classic amg exhausts and shouldn't be changed. I really feel like they tried too hard with this car.....

Yup. It's that sleep assist thing that warns you when you're getting drowsy. That's the symbol for it.
