Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
What's with those new automatic shifters that look like manual shifters?
Lame. Buy a car with a real manual.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
Is this some kind of joke?

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
It's very angular inside and out, bordering on abrasive. It makes me feel uncomfortable, not like a place I'd want to spend time in.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
Not an attractive car. Rear end looks like the current Accord and the front looks like a GS Lexus. The inside looks like any Mercedes from the past 20 years.
Mercedes continues to prove that you can survive on your reputation so long as you don't seriously destroy it. |

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
What's with the Batmobile interior??
 I am soooooooooo relieved!!!! I had believed that the E-Class was going to be some serious competition to the XF as my next car. Thus far.... XF leads by a very comfy margin. Interesting that Mercedes is using the harsh angles. It doesn't work. It works ONLY for one car company -- Cadillac. Sorry Mercedes. You failed this one.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
Is this real?
The interior in particular looks nothing like what I expected. I thought the E would follow a similar theme to the new C inside, but this looks like a poorly done knockoff of a current 5 series interior.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
Mercedes is going rapidly downhill since late 1990s, and this is yet another stage of it. I can't really understand why would people keep buying Mercedes, especially with better BMWs and Audis than ever - and now, the Jag.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
The current generation SL, before they messed up the headlights last year (or was it just this year that they did it?) is a beautiful car. I don't think they're going downhill, I think they're just changing their style a little. The current CL looks awesome, it's just too big a car for my taste. The CLK Black was way awesome too.

Re: Mercedes E Class: First official photos?
Pretty sure thats the new front end, not sure about the interior though.
As far as anyone not liking it, it had to change. The current E class looks dated beside anything else from MB right now. |
