Why... because apparently the staff or the owners could give 2 shyts. This forum is poorly maintained, but strictly moderated...
Yet, about 4 of the PM's I sent to super moderators about having my username changed, all ignored my request.

There's actually a W212 forum but not a W212 AMG section yet.... you may find it helpful until they decide to create one:

just doesn't have the Mercedes "smooth" look very boxy and to many edges
I can see where all the body parts come together

I think the new E-Class looks good. Surprisingly, the car looks better in person than it does in pictures. I've seen several new E-Classes driving around here in SoCal and the car looks sharp.
The new design may not be for everyone. Love it or hate it though, the W212 AMG deserves it's own subforum section.

jesus... not looking at it from the side... the back looks soooooo un-proportional! Wow, people that say this is a beautiful looking car are not realistic... Beautiful/goregous/amazing are words for cars with minor if any imperfections.

Exactly. Calling it "beautiful" or "sexy" just is off IMO, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it's not a "pretty" car, not even meant to be, the lines are as hard and the shapes are as angular as it gets. If you aren't a fan of it, it can be pretty hard on the eyes.

I have seen a couple driving through SoCal as well and I must say I like it very much in person. I saw one while driving to work yesterday (dark oustide) and I loved the way the tail lights looked lit up lol.

I saw this car last night at the auto show and got to sit in it and explore it thoroughly. This is an amazing car. We will all want one. I can't wait to see what they do with the new cls.

for each it is own. I personally hate the new w212. New E's are starting to pop in DC area, but god damn it looks like Hyundai and Toyota Camry mix.

can you tells us(w212 haters) what is so amazing in it? I personally see nothing amazing, v8TT would be amazing, but it still got that boring N/A engine.

To each their own on your engine opinion, but I sat in it last night too and gotta say I'm not sure I'd pay full price for a car that seems cheaper. Love the seats, love the steering wheel, but the dash material seems cheaper, the headliner is regular C-Class material, and the lower grille mesh is plastic now..?? I drove one a week ago at my dealer, that's when it gets you. It actually likes corners....

I can point out multiple areas where the interior is noticeably "cheaper" seeming and surprisingly and disconcertingly less refined than in the W211. However, it's got bigger slabs of wood, so automatically most people will probably assume it's "more luxurious".
No offense to the guy who said he liked it BTW, to each their own.
