Just wondering peoples thoughts. IMO the 2012-2013 e63 wagons are the best looking they have made to date. The interior is a bit ancient admittedly though.

(The above post is a joke! Some people don't like turbos, or AWD, or the looks. It's all personal preference and intended goals for the car.)

2016 E63s
One was parked in my neighborhood over the weekend, Blue exterior. They do look great but then again there was an old mid-2000's CL55 at the water park I thought was sexy. I love them all - blondes, brunettes, redheads etc.

For me personally I wouldn’t have bought my E63 unless it was a 2014-2016. Pretty much anything older than that I’m just not into. E55 included. I mean they are all cool cars don’t get me wrong, but there’s other stuff I’d buy before a pre-facelift car. Just a little too dated for my liking. This front end to me looks very modern for being 7+ model years old.

we are exact opposite! I am coming from a 2020 c43. The modern styling doesn't thrill me. I don't hate or even dislike it. I just dig the older "angle" styling.

Beauty is subjective.
I don't find any of the "modern" Mercedes cars extremely attractive, esp. the interior with the enormous iPad-like digital screen dominating the environment.
Both pre and post-facelift W212's are attractive, with the pre-facelift model looking more aggressive from some angles.

Man the new S class bums me out. Looks like a Toyota Camry in the back.

Plenty of angles on the face lift cars.
I understand it's subjective. To each his own.

The IPAD is the possibly the worst feature on the W213. The other being a smaller motor (no replacement for displacement). The huge screen makes it more like a video game than anything else, IMO. But, I also understand that it appeals to the younger generations.

Not a fan of the look of the pre-face lift front end, nor am I the actual illumination of those older tech headlights.

The adaptive LEDs and auto high beam of the face lift are as good or better than my new Porsche 991 LED's . I do however, love the sound of the pre-facelift NA 6.3 motors.

E63
I personally like the aggressive angular shapes from the pre-face lift. Either way, can't go wrong with either.
