Unveiled: 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

That first shot, OHGODWHY.

 

[Jens]

Great, they ruined a perfectly good looking car.

 

[DanRoM]

Better than the current one, but still not pretty.

 

[hounted]

That first shot, OHGODWHY.

To make the CLS sell better

 

[wooflepoof]

I hope that drives prices of the current E-Class down so that sweet, sweet E63 Wagon becomes tantalizingly affordable in the coming years

[Genesis_73]

Oh dear. I am not a fan of the sudden change to soft, rounded shapes. It makes the front end look a bit messy.

 

[Andeh]

Unsure, I'll reserve judgement for the coup?. If it still exists.

 

[Der Stig]

Yeeesh, red is not that car's friend.

I'm with wooflepoof, gimme a highly depreciated W212 E63 AMG wagon, please.

 

[SpitfireMK461]

I think I prefer the looks of the previous generation Mercs. The new front end is a bit...soft? wishy washy?

The seats are probably very nice to shit in but the design looks very, very ugly...

 

[maxtortheone]

The seats are probably very nice to shit in but the design looks very, very ugly...

Probably, they're heated after all.

 

[Average Guy]

Well.... This is awkward...

The worst is that I looked at it 3-4 times before I noticed it :lol:

 

[Donington]

I like the silver one a lot actually, but the 'classic' style grille on the brown one just doesn't work any more.

I think I prefer it to the current one though, which looked nice from some angles but really odd from others.

 

[McRae]

The new backlights of the estate reminds me of the Chevrolet Orlando. Which isn't a good thing. The front looks even worse.

 

[Momentum57]

I know its not but wouldn't that be an extremely classy cigar ash tray. I know that all car manufactures are anti-smoking but for the overtly extravagant decadence of an ash tray that has been carefully designed and will probably not be used I feel speaks volumes. However; 20 speakers that wont be turned up cranking rock music sitting useless I guess is extravagant too.

 

[ChuckMoritz]

The exterior design could be a bit edgier, but the interior is actually quite nice, atleast with the wood inserts. They should be standard in my opinion, since the silver stuff looks cheap.

I can't afford one anyways, so why would I complain?

 

[The Spie]

Why does the interior remind me of something that would have been submitted as an entry in an early 70s Oldsmobile Of The Future contest? The outside is your typical Let's Pander To The Innate Conservativism Of The Average E-Class Buyer. It's got a clock. And, yes, the seats are very nice to shit in.

Inoffensive to the point of being offensive, that's what this is.

No gear stick at all ?
