Next Mercedes E-Class - picture

NEW PICS. Looking hot.

It's a bit top heavy, so the rear wheels look tiny (or is that the high belt line?).  And that rear window looks strange.  I always liked the Mercedes coupes because of side glass being completely retractable.  Seems like this is no longer the case.

It's a shame because the profile looks awesome up until the B pillar.  It's so close to being a great design, but not quite IMO.

That triangular glass piece in the rear quarter window looks a lil goofy. I think this would look better, but I suppose it would cause a huge blind spot:

Not sure if people saw this comment on the bottom of page 5 so here goes...



That little black line towards the end of the C-Pillar sort off reminds me of the "beauty blades" of the C107 SLC. In real life they looked really awesome on the SLC and made the C-Pillar section look less long than it actually was. I am guessing with the new E-Class Coupe they included it because that rear window looks like it can be retracted.

That little window looks like a Chinese afterthought.  Heritage be damned.

I think the little window needs to be moved farther forward, or removed completely.

Yeah, saw you post, but I always thought that looked a bit naff.  Personal taste I guess...

That SLC looks great....... but the new ELK, or CE or CLE or whatever they call it is just too gawky. Like most others apart from you-know-whom, I find that extra black divider on the rear window just looks stupid.. "goofy" as someone here coined is a good description.

The rest of it is close to being very elegant, but just misses it in many ways as the proportions just do not quite balance. Shame........

Interior Pictures!

Why on earth do I have to keep coming into Mercedes-Benz threads and saying 'Now, that's rather nice, except for the stupid panel gap/obscure crease/strange headlight/random slash'? M-B's own CL and CLK manage to be pillarless hardtops without any need for little fixed windows, so why the swizzle stick now?

Still, for the most part it's a fine-looking car. Because of the strong creaseline above the rear wheels breaking up the expanse of metal, I think it just gets away with the large rear fenders. A dark red or blue 500 would do me very nicely, thank you.

In profile, it looks like it's drooping after the B pillar.  I don't think I like this one.
