[68_427]

Full debut is tomorrow the 14th.

There will be an E50 AMG (in place of an E43, using the new inline-6) and an E63 AMG.

Looks great.  Interesting they said AWD only available in their highest end model engine.  Also no AMG variant to be done.  Interesting they're planning on unveiling it in Detroit as opposed to LA.

Is this one gonna be based on the E class this time?

^ That panel in the roof is really irritating, at least with high contrast colors.

Assuming it's like the c and s class coupes then yes.

I'm sure you can order it without that panoramic roof

I don't care for the fold in the middle.

  Forgot about that.

It's geared towards middle-aged men, hence the bald spot.

Really handsome car.

There's something odd about the front end of recent MB cars. To me they appear disproportionally massive, almost truckish.

They are trying to draw a parallel with these:



I agree that it's not really working. The rest of the car is shaped like a tadpole.

They save money by using the emblems from their big rigs.

Yeah, they have a very flat, snub-nosed look to them.

Still way better than these hunks of front-end ugly they were putting out for a while:

I like the W210

I like the W210

It's got great profile and is a looker from certain angles, but that bug eyed front end is just...bleh!  To me, at least.

[12,000 RPM]

Everything from the emblem back is classic. But yea, that front end was not great. To be fair, it never got better IMO. Things reached a real low with the pre-facelift W212:



Nothing has captured the Connecticut old money majesty of the W124.

Gotta say, I am really digging these new coupes from Mercedes'. I love the current C-Class Coupe and of course the S-Class Coupe. This new E-Class Coupe looks pretty stunning in these official photos (duh!).

The last generation C- and E-Class Coupes never really excited me. They looked ok but basically came across as a regular C/E-Class that got chopped in half after the driver's doors and received a different mid and rear. At least these current coupes differentiate themselves from their sedan counterparts.

If I had to choose between these three coupes, I'd probably go for the C-Class Coupe. It's relatively compact but spacious inside (and looks so hot). 

But I can't wait to see the new E-Class Coupe in person.

[cawimmer430]

I like the W210

Same here. I actually prefer the original W210 to the rounder facelifted version, which looked a little "softer." The boxier elements of the original W210 make it a little more macho-looking.


Facelifted W210



The pre-facelift E50 & E55 AMG looked especially good. I mean look at this! 

[SVT_Power]

I still think this is the best looking modern MB:

That's my favorite modern E-Class, but I always loved how the W204 looked.

EDIT: Though, overall, the AMG GT is the best looking, IMO.

[Submariner]

Pictures are up on NetCarShow.

[CaminoRacer]

I still think this is the best MB.

[Laconian]

XG-Klasse!

W204 was the last-generation C-Class, not any E-Class.

Imposter! There's no star on the bonnet! 

[SJ_GTI]

I mean the car in the oh pee looks good, but I just don't see the draw of these types of cars. The annoyance of being really big combined with the impracticality of only having two doors.

[68_427]

W204 was the last-generation C-Class, not any E-Class. 

If you read his post again he's not saying it is.  He's saying the w211 is his fav e class but he loves the w204 too
