What are your thoughts on the styling direction of the new Mercedes- http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/42029.jpg

 

Maybe it'll grow on me.

 

Doesn't seem that different to me, just an evolution of their current themes.

 

The current E-class strikes me a downright pretty - something I never could say about any previous Mercedes since the 300SL. If this car is more aggressive, that's just in keeping with the market segment.

By the way, I mentioned upcoming CLE "four door coupe" months ago. My prediction: expect this car to substantially outsell the upcoming BMW 6-series.

 

Camarobabe02 says it looks like a Focus and I said an Infiniti...hmmm..ohh well..looks okay but she doesnt like it..

 

i never thought the prius would have such a large influence on those germans

 

Looks very Japanese.

 

just when you thought their current headlights (twin ovals) couldnt get any uglier, then they go and do something japanese like

 

This was exactly my thought when I looked at the picture too.

 

Yuk. Im sure it can look better with a little refinement but that front end looks horrendous.

If BMW and Mercedes keep this up, it wont be long till Cadillac IS the Standard of the World again!

 

Thats exactly what I hope happens!!

 

Stick an "L" on that puppy and you got yourself an ES330. I guess the Germans got tired of having their designs copied by the Japanese so they decided to one up them (and go with Japanese styling).

 

Help meeeeee! I'm melting!

Seriously, get out the snail bait--this one's a slug.

 

And I say current-gen Accord.

 

Definetely looks like an Accord with a mutated Mercedes front end molded onto it.
