Looks like MB's purposely making the E-class very squarish and 'rigid' looking so as to further differentiate it from the next CLS which will obviously maintain it's curvy-oso style. Well I guess people won't criticise MB for making the E-class a scale-down S-class, it's definitely going to be a stand-out within the MB line-up and also a stand-out within the E/5er/A6/etc category in terms of its design.
Not true, slightly similar they are, but the E class does not apear to look like any of the 2, the E class looks like it will have a much m ore agile design than the GS, and the headlamps design is mercedes-ish at both ends anyway, but looks like E-class will execute it in a more like one piece rather than 2 piece headline this time, which is not what u obviosly see on the front end of the GS, and the Cadi is no where to be compared here in similarity ......
