Therefore, anything else may be close, but no cigar.

Look at the way the fender line (above the wheel arch) continues into the rear lights ....and the way the main character line runs along the rear to logically follow the top of the lights -- this is good. ![]()

![]() | Re: New W212 E-Class Sedan & Estate Thread II (Spy pics & info) Yes, I appreciate that. But the discussion we were having earlier was based on the general trends we have seen from MB and the available spy pics and chops..

![]() ![]() | Re: New W212 E-Class Sedan & Estate Thread II (Spy pics & info) We have this discussion every time before the final tape comes off. Someone sees a Lehmann butcher job, and proclaims, "I hate it, I can't belive Mercedes is doing this. WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" And then the real product comes out, and all is well. The E looks a lot bigger in the back door. |

I see nothing retro in the GLK and E-class, they might be utility shaped but they don't resembles any of their descendants in any strong way. |
