That PS is new to me and I'm actually digging the head lights and the whole front. It looks very aggressive and edgy. The current E-class isn't really as hipp as the A6 and the 5er. I hope the new one will be more attractive for the younger crowd.

According to spy photos, the new E will look nothing like the silver photoshop.

I disagree:

BMW has had it forever. Just because the four eyes of a BMW are under a plastic transparant cover since the E36 3-series (actually, I think it might have been glass on that model???) doesn't mean it isn't there anymore. In fact, since the angel eyes, they are almost as visible as the cars before the E36 (in the dark at least

)

Funny, because almost every car maker has copied the 4 eyes behind clear glass nowadays, something I believe the E36 3er started, as I said

A lot of cars used 4 round headlights back in the day, not because of design, that was just the way most headlights were physically made. Mercedes round 4-light theme wasn't just the lights it was the fenders that when along with them on the W210 so BMW has nothing do with that look. The 5-Series was after the round lighted W123 E-Class anyway.

It'll probably be toned down a bit, but Huckfeldt until now has been eerily accurate. The guy must have insider information. There's no other explanation for it.
