2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class. Rear shot and interior shot.

The front is not bad, but the rear looks like Hyundai.

Man, the Bangle fever now spreads to another brand whose design I used to love.

Atleast they got something right, and put the emblem back on the hood where it belongs.

I think he is referring to the shield emblem on the grille versus incorporating it into the star base on the hood. Mercedes started incorporating the shield on the star base in the 1990's but had this setup during since the 1930's.

The star ornament was separated from the grille in the 1990's as well beginning with the 1992 W202 C-Class, this car was also the first to incorporate the shield to the star base as well starting the trend for the next 13 years.
I for on am glad they are back to their roots.

Nice looking car. Very Lexus-like in appearance.

i swear to God that i saw the exact post few weeks ago.

Its a really old post

Ohhh..rear looks nearly identical to the Hyundai Genesis. That's a great shame, together with GS like headlamps, nothing original and exciting about this new design.

A great disspointment, especially becasue current E is one of the most beautiful sedan around, classci and elegant. This is bland and me-too looking.

JUGNU

I actually find the current E bland and uninteresting, I'd much rather have a C.

The Lexus GS headlamps are a little late in coming innit? The interior is a mess of angular shapes with ghastly looking wood panelling - looks like lacquered plastic, with an even uglier oversized steering wheel that looks like a headless sumo wrestler with stained underwear. If this is the new E-Klasse, time for BMW and Audi to pop the champagne

The current E class looks great but it is a little on the boring side. I love this new E class. It is aggressive looking but without losing the typical Mercedes class and charm. Fantastic car!

Didn't we already see these like several months ago? I like it, I think we'll like it more when we see it in the flesh.

Definitely an old post and I still HATE the interior. The current car is about perfect especially the interior. This is not a good look.
T

that interior is a spitting image of the old 90's model.....why is Mercedes desighning their new lines to look like their from the 80's and 90's its almost 2009....

rip off it looks like all the other models

the interior is just horrid!

This is one of the ugliest interiors Mercedes has ever designed, if it's real.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was real, because it seems as if the CL and S had completely different designers from the C and GLK. The C and GLK are the two latest models from Mercedes and they carry the boxy design theme, as well as the ugly, '80s interior design. This E looks like those cars.

lOVE IT.

Looks like i will be keeping my E350,shame i thought Benz would have done a better job on their moneymaker.

Well!Well!Well!I think I keep my current E-class for a while. Allways make me happy when I see the interior smothness. And the velwing body over the frontwheels ain´t bad either, a classic look.

The current E is soooooooooo boring..it looks like an old ladies car. This one would be a wonderful change.

It reminds me of a CTS

has a classy look to it I want to see the amg version

interesting how it still gets the regular shifter in the middle console and not on the steering column like the S class

I doubt it. It's not the case in the other photos we have seen. Right now the M,R,GL,S,and CL have the electronic shifter stalk. Which IMO is great

It's like a bigger C-Class with retro cues. I am not feeling this model, just as I haven't felt the last two generations. The wedge profile looks exaggerated, especially the character line near the bottom of the doors. I also see something odd in the roof line - it's a bit like the last generation Accord (rear doors, C-pillar).

E Classes have always been sort of plain, but at this and the last few gens have been plain, inoffensive and ordinary. I'm glad to see a return in spirit to the 80s models, which IMO was the pinnacle of the Benz history, but I think the execution here is lacking.

The front isn't bad, although I'd like to see it without those extra, inside lights, and less triangular headlights. And while the rear is a little jarring, I have a feeling it will look better in person. And while I like the concept of returning to the traditional 70s and 80s (and early 90s) interior design, which IMO was among the best of all cars, this, at least in these pictures, is coming off unually cheap looking. Go take a look on ebay at old E and S Classes from the 80s and 90s (but not the '96 and later E's) and you'll see how great the old designs were.

I think the back end looks like the Hyundai Sonata, which obviously is even cheaper looking than the Genesis. And as far as the interior, it seems like MB continued the "retro" look but forgot to leave out the "old and outdated" look.

Okay so what? Hyundai has started many trends believe it or not if u look back in its history. Just because something looks like another doesnt make it so. You people that judge books by their cover dont know ANYTHING about automobiles.

And it looks more like an evolution of the W210 e-class (1996-2002) than a Hyundai.

w, take it easy. Talk about be over dramatic. Usually high volume car lines tend to use very conservative designs so that they can appeal to the masses. Furthermore, the more intricate the exterior or interior design, ie, more complex plastic molds, extra trim pieces, etc, drive pricing up. So when someone is pointing out a likeness in design, it sort of speaks of cheapness. Which is certainly against MB design philosophy...

The new 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class is a pure winner.

All of you that don't like the car have your heads in the sand.

Yeah, trying to hide from its ugliness...Yes, I'm back!

It just looks so cheap to me, especially from the rear doors back, looks more like a Koren knock-off Merc than a genuine.

Looks a bit like the W124 inside with the sharp angles, that I do like. Not sure if I like the steering wheel with it's circular buttons though, and yes, the rear is a bit plain.

CTS ftw.

Win what..."the redneck choice" trophy? CTS is a tasteless abomination with appeal to the 70+ crowd who hangs flags on the windows of their cars.

The E class is the choice of the successful intellectual elite and its only competition is the gorgeous 5 series BMW.

Star, you are quite the imbecile.

Blah blah blah blah...yeah whatever. You sure are biased aren't you?

Htay7500 "You sure are biased aren't you?"


Not at all, just realistic.

This interior picture contradics the other ones we have seen. The shifter was not on the floor on the other pictures rather on the steering column such as the one found on the CL, S, ML, GL, and R.

Although Im sure this is very close to what it will look like Im waiting for the OFFICIAL photos to decide what I think about it.

This new E-Class is not even close to Jag's new XF.

Can't comment until i see official pictures
