I'd say that thing looks a lot better than the current E-Class (which is pretty bland in my opinion). The wheels look pretty big but could afford to be sportier. I don't know what it is but the headlights remind me of a 360 Modena, maybe that's why I think it looks cool. I'd be interested in seeing an AMG version of this generation E-Class, until then...

Mary Lou says check out the influence of Chrysler's PT cruiser. Subtle hint of the future of Daimler/Chrysler.

The car looks good, but I like the format of their messageboard even more.

I'm not too sure, it looks a bit weird. The lights look a bit too much like the new WRX's. Too bulgy and frog-like. Think it'd be better with the new C-class type headlights, sort of like a cross btwn the S-class and the E....

I like the new look very much, but it is just a little too busy and Im guessing that the rear will stay similar to the current uninspired one. In general these cars are made for a different market niche than bimmers....
