AMEN

New to the forum.
With the new MOVE program scheduled for MY 2010 and ongoing discussion regarding V60 or V90 engine layout I’m very skeptical that it could be any new E-class in MY 2009.

Welcome CYSPEED and iliya_ca.

I hope the new E class won't look like that. It reminds me of Lexus GS.

I actually like the look of the 1st photo in this thread, I don't think it looks like a Lexus, the new LS460 actually stole quite a few of the design elements from the BMW 5 series but they don't quite work, I parked next to a new Lexus that was parked next to a new BMW 5 series in a garage in San Francisco and could not help but laugh at their poor attempt of copying.

So hot! IMO! lol

Who would they be fooling with that statement?

The new S-class has no evolution in headlight (or tail light) design. The CL has no evolution in head/tail light design either.. and from spy pics we can see that the C-class will not have the peanut shape front lights.

It's more a following of the Lexus GS design than it is an 'evolution' of the E-class lights.

I'm afraid that nowadays Mercedes no longer is the leader in innovative designs. Yes they still are in terms of technology and safety, .. but definately not design leadership. ... IMO.

I thought for sure we'd see some actual prototypes after reading the title of this thread... I was fooled. Welcome.

Mercedes was never really a design leader to begin with. Every car they made, the next generation was either a clear evolution of the predecessor and rarely, a completely different car.

And in my unbiased opinion, Mercedes design is still innovative. The CLS, R171 SLK and the new S-Class and CL-Class are pretty radical for MB design standards.

Nope Bmw Are
