Well, not bad, but it's not like it needed it. It looked good before, it still looks good, I hope it'll be more silent in diesel and more comfortable now. The frontlights are an improvement, the previous were not that good integrated in the car.

Still wait to see the rear, though, looks like only the graphics of the rearlights changed.

I guess I could deal with the 2-door if I just had too. I bet it drives nothing like my old-era Benz.

I think a Golf has an even better interior.

tbh theres not enough difference, casual car buyers wouldn't even know this was a facelift if not told.

They drive very sporty actually (for a FWD car) with actually crisp handling and a lot of feedback through the steering wheel. They're not very comfortable though in comparison to a C-Class and above but you can still drive long distances with them in decent comfort settings.

Really like the new front bumper design. Clean, elegant and sporty at the same time. Should look great on the CLK too.

Hands down the best front bumpers on any Benz at the moment, I would love for the S-class to get something similar to the second one. The first one is highly well designed too and I certainly hope the one on the new E-class will be similar.

I think it's very very impressive. Beautiful in a lunar-module kinda' way. I'd buy that in an heartbeat - as an everyday drive-about and even a long-distance driver. Of course, I'm driving a Prius now, and so it's no weirder looking than that (Imagine, a Prius that handled well. What a concept).
The diesel, assuming it's quiet and yielding great mileage, is what we need over here in the U.S.
Sadly, it's not available in the U.S., right?
