I saw a 2010 E63 in Los Angeles back in January. Tape over its badges did nothing to disguise the fact that it was the AMG version with its wider front track and deep, resonant exhaust note. Was stuck in traffic next to it for several blocks through Santa Monica.

styling of the E-class on the whole is a complete failure...couldnt be seen driving such poorly desgined vehicle.

the last gen E-class was, hands down, the most elegant/stylish looking E-class made.

Same implies to you, What do you know about car design? Design is subjective but majority of people(almost everybody who i heard on car forums and in real) think new E class is an average design, not something what you would expect from MB especially when S and CL are class leaders in design and a step back from previous generation's more elegant E class.

The new e looks like a Toyota Camry. The coupe is a little better because of the lights and lines.

i don't think photos do the new e-class justice. i wasn't a big fan until i saw it in person. i think it looks really good, even the rear end. there is some detail to the sheetmetal that doesn't translate well with the photos - the back doesn't resemble a Hyundai at all 'in the metal'. if anything, the last e-class was a departure with it's softened, swoopy styling. This car successfully resurrects the classic MB styling of the 80's E-class (w-124 i believe)and the w-140 s-class.
Inside and out, it makes a statement about MB reasserting it's old reputation for impeccable quality standards, that's what i think they wanted, and i think it works.

AMG always makes the best-looking versions of all the Mercedes cars, and the differences are quite scary. The aggressive AMG bits really set off the rest of the natural aggressiveness of the front-end of the E-Class design.
