My opinion, the Cclass's shape is rather unattractive, it's too square and unsleek, the rear windshield is not sharply raked enough imo, i thought that was to increase rear headroom but it looks like the new Eclass is doing the same thing.. You can see the W211 has a more steeply raked rear windshield than the new one. from the Apillar, it's like 45deg up, flat, and then 45deg down (c pillar), really not a fan of something like this at the moment, especially when all the side profile lines are hidden. | | | | | Moderator

looks too much like a glorified C class, not individual enough, and the chrome insert on the sea of wood looks a bit odd
anyway it's interesting | | | | | Executive

Gorgeous, absolutely beautiful. Looks just like the interior we saw last year, the screen is huge though. Very Saco inspired and reminiscent of the W124 which was perfect inside and out.  | | | | | Executive

But i still do no understand, Who is designing the mercs steering wheels? In the name of god, waht a horrible desing for all the line. Waht happened with the old desing?.
I own a 04 E320 CDI and its steering wheel is MUCH pretier. Much much more. | | | | | Tags | 2009 e-class, eclass, estate, ii, info, mercedes-benz, new e-class, pics, sedan, spy, thread, w212  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
