What is everyone's Opinion on the NEW E-Class?

I had a chance to look at the new E-Class upfront today while my car was having warranty work done. Is it just me or does the rear end look similiar to the Honda Accord? Not feelin it. What were they thinking?

I do like the coupe a lot better then sedan with the exception of the rear end. I hope they don't screw up the new AMG version.

My bad. I'm usually on the CLS forum, but I just actually saw the new E class today and was very disapointed.

Funny how everyone said the same thing when the 02' 735i was introduced. That was the beginning of the Bangle era and everyone and their brother talked about how homely the car was. Then it turns out that the new for 02 7 series was their best seller yet.

Somehow, I think that the E class will do the same thing. It's true the butt is butt ugly. No pun intended but the interior and the front look good. Give it time and we'll all be saying that it's a good looking car. Oh, and lets not forget what the tuners are going to do to it... I'm sure there's a carbon fiber spoiler out there somewhere....

I feel the 2010 E Class looks great. HOWEVER, it lacks the elegance and class and solid lines the 07-09 have and should NOT replace it. They should call it the C PLUS and leave the real E-Class alone!

We should get that Brittany Spears freak on You-Tube to do one for MB: "LEAVE THE E CLASS ALONE!"
