I don't think so. It's more likely that this is a new design element for future mercedes models starting with the E-class facelift. If I can recall correctly, his CLK impressions had similar a bumper design.

Hmmm, I guess Mercedes is taking a page from BMW with the front bumpers ala the 3 series. It looks good none the less.

could be

I just thought maybe because Huckfledt did something similar with the CLS and S class PS's. He made the CLS look like the new S class from the front end (or vice versa, cant rememba) but then later changed the photoshops the way they should have been...

Oh that S-class dilema
It wasn't clear with the S-class and how it would look like. There were two different prototypes testing around. One of them was the real S-class prototype (ehich was presented in the media and in the forums as the CLS prototype) and the Maybach 53 prototype (presented by the media and in the forums as the S-class protoype). It wasn't so clear for the media because at that time nobody knew what Mercedes meant by a "4-door-coupe" and even after Mercedes presented the Vision CLS at the IAA in 2003 people thought it was just an over styled concept.

THose new mirrors are weird, hope it's only there to fool around...~
I have a feeling that the pic on the previous page is of a new sports package? or for the Advantgade model only? I don't particularly like those bumpers, it's just not smooth and it's a factor that screws the E90 3series front end up... E90 looks good, but could have been much better, and i'm sure its facelift will concentrate at that part..

It's now 2006, just over 3 years until the next generation Eclass comes... so far the next generation Eclass PSs looks stunning, it looks like an S class compared to the current model...!

I'm really excited to see the AMG version of the facelifted E. Should be interesting with the new bumper design

Do you think MB will use the one used on the new S65 or a new one similar to the S65's?

[The Artist]

if you ask me i think they will go for the rounded version like on the CLS performance pack.. and not the totally square version of the S65

[bmwownage]

thing is for example the S65, it's not so 'roundy' like the W211, this is afterall an older design so it'll look pretty weird to put those S65 package on...
