SPIED: NEW Spy Pics Loosely REVEAL New "Face" Of Mercedes-Benz's E-Class COUPE

SPIED: NEW Spy Pics Loosely REVEAL New
For this one you're going to have to look VERY hard as the new "face" of Mercedes-Benz's E-Class is going to receive a subtle revision.

Oh yeah, and there's a bit of camouflage that's attempting to hide the changes before the FULL reveal.

The good news is that the camouflage isn't all that great. From what we can see, it's pretty evident that the E-Class Coupe will follow the E-Class Sedan in its change from a quad headlight setup to a more conventional single unit for each side. While other publications have said otherwise, these latest shots seem to show the real deal in play.

Please note the shutline of the hood where it meets the headlight -- it has a single, sweeping line. In addition, also note that in the initial shot the vehicle's passenger-side blinker is activated. If you look closely, you can see that the blinker flows all the way down into the area where the high beams or daytime running lights rest.

I am not sure if this was a wise decision on Mercedes' part simply because the quad lights really made the E-Class stand apart from its A-Class and C-Class counterparts. Now this consolidation makes the E less of a standout amongst the brand's other classes.

Another detail you can quickly spot is the new grille on this particular prototype. While Mercs of yore used to feature a good amount of lamellas, it appears that this prototype is sporting a grille featuring only one lamella. Perhaps it is a sport packaged-equipped model?

Isn't that similar to how the front grille for the CLS and SL look? It would make sense that it would come to the E next. The same way they did the uniform LED DRLs across all the models.

2013 e-class brochure shows quads on at least the sedan.

It will have quads, I'm not sure why people fill because the Camo is covering the thin strip seperating the Headlights into quads,they must no longer be quad.

Look at heavily camo'd E classes of year past, the camo did the same thing, then Surprise, the E class is still a good looking 4 eyed sedan

Look closely at the passenger side blinker, which is showing through to the bottom.

I am betting -- heavily -- that it will be a single unit headlight.
