Looks promising so far. I like the stance and proportions. Side profile also looks very sleek and I like the fact that it doesn't have the drooping character line. Although I'm a bit worried it looks similar to the C & S as it has similar features. I hope the taillights wrap around the rear instead of the vertical ones we find on the S class.

The render seems to be quite accurate.

Not if it had to look like the pre LCI E.

This is the trend now and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. Fortunately for Mercedes, their current designs work. S-Class to C-Class. I would be surprised if the E-Class wasn't a hit too but looking at mockups (not hard to see what the final product will be), Mercedes has nothing to worry about. Mercedes is killing it this generation.

I think the predictions of the new E class look show a very handsome car. I also like the new C class. But to me the S class looks ungainly from the side view with the front and back portions disconnected from the middle of the car. And the flame surfacing is off.

speaking about e-class. i was looking at some 09 w211s and 11-12 w212s, anyone has any experience with those as far as reliability etc ?

Have you seen bmw cars lately? It is pretty generic. The 3 series, 5 series, and 7 series all look alike from behind. It just the proportion is a bit different.

I guess many are too young on here. They also forgot about E38, E39 and E46.
