AMG has done it again what a car!

 

Done what again? That back end is fugly!

 

I despise the new E.
The look like something from Lexus

 

+1....

 

congrats, man! styling aside, which is a personal preference, it's a positive step-up from the old w211.

 

Holy bleep bleep, looks like a Lexus, an Acura, and a Mercedes had a threesome and produced a child looking at the back end of this thing, wtf Mercedes.

 

the back end still looks fugly and the interior looks cheap

 

I agree that is a serious badonkadonk on the back of that thing... wow.


I think they need to come out with a 65 for the E-series...goo that would be crazy.

 

Congrats on the new car.
Not a big fan of the W212 E63 but hopefully I will change my mind once I see it in flesh.

 

exhaust tips HAVE TO GO.

someone let the designer run amok.....

I am sure this is a great car - but - some styling aspects are just plain trying too hard. Airflow items should be rounded.... the fact you can see the round exhaust pipe in there is just plain wrong.

 

That clamshell hood meeting the quarter panel fails.
Looks tacky and ruins the cars front end profile.

 

+1 and the hyundai rear taillights...FAILURE

 

+100000 To me, the back-end is just too yucky

Hopefully, it'll grow on us soon though..... maybe as soon as the twin turbos are released

Great car, congrats....

 

to all the people that are really hating on the looks of the car, have you seen it in person?

the car isn't very photogenic, but it is faaaaar better in person.

 

Agreed. It's also a big step forward dynamically from the W211, if reports are to be believed.

 

I personally prefer how the interior of the W211 flows. Especially how the center design flows very nicely from the air conditioning controls down through the COMAND and through the gear shift.

With the new W212, the flow is interrupted and not smooth anymore.

 

THE C63 IS WAY BETTER. THIS CAR HAS NO FLOW AND LOOKS CHEAP. WHEELS LOOK SMALL TOO.

 

PICS DONT DO IT JUSTICE, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE ONES OP POSTED. SORRY. THE CAR IS SICK AND WHEN YOU SEE IT IN PERSON YOU WILL WANT IT BAD.

 

a neighbor down my street has the new E, non amg... though it's got a little diferent bodystyling, i just shake my head when i see the rear end... the front is spot on, just beautiful! the rear end was a huge miss and quite frankly is the reason i believe the w211 will be in style for a while to come...

 

yawn. turn your caps lock OFF.

 

everyone is making the car out to be soo much worse than it probably is...

 

and I bet you everyone in the w212 forum is making the w212 out to be so much better than it is lol

 

im a big fan of the e55 but the interior on these new models is just so cheap looking

 

Saw it and drove it. Drives nice and the MCT is quicker than the 7-G Tronic.

It looks good when you're inside 'cause all you see are the gauges and the road

Yeah, it's fugly. The designer had Japanese wet dreams and so this is what he ended up with. There's no real radical design inspiration with this car. He and Chris Bangle should get together and open a restaurant or something.

The car's a decent lateral move from the W211. It's not really moving up, tho. Except for the expected tech advances. Car weighs more now (MCT) and it negates the tiny hp boost. Wait a few years for the TT, imho.

It'll be a good sleeper since you can hide in with all the other Asian cars out there.

 

That car is soo much better, people will change their tune next year (thats how long it takes some people to warm up to things) and then say the w211 is outdated looking; history will repeat itself. BTW Has anyone seen the Carlsson w212 now that is nice, minus the rims though. .02
