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.
LOL to amalgamate those two vehicles and come up with the E, you have a VIVID imagination Beemer. And then you go on to say that MB is making the E-class a scaled down S-class, when clearly the E has a rigid design and the S has followed the 'curvy' lot. I'm very very confused. And lastly despite looking like a hybrid of the GS and Cadillac...its going to stand out?
