Re: "Pre-Official" C207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé

I've never been a photoshop expert - in fact, the exact opposite... Nowadays even official shots are so digitally enhanced and "airbrushed" that it's really hard to tell an official shot from a talented chop.

But I reckon this is leaked brochure artwork/imagery that was "lying around" in a pre-production state. The car looks 100% legit. The crispness and definition of the detailing, the official look, the interior detail. This is a classic leak. I put 10 Dollars down that this, whilst not official, is the real McCoy. Off-round wheels and such don't mean that the vehicle shown is fake.

And that interior

Re: "Pre-Official" C207 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé

they are photoshopped. By MB. Actually they are what you call "touched." All these brochure type pics are touched to enhance the car. Do you think they drove that car to this location? No, that is graphically enhanced.

Do you think those pics some of you pervs put up of half naked models aren't touched?

It is the real car, sort of.

Re: Official e class coupe photos!!!

It's the real car, perhaps purposely "made to look fake" by MB, such as the weird shaped wheels.. i think it looks sleek, somehow they can turn the whole design from the boxy E to this roundy more futuristic shaped coupe, imo it works better with this kinda shape..
And those seats, i can't believe you get them standard right? these are like stock recaro! and one more thing, while the interior is the same as the 4 door E, i think it is too angular/boxy/unsporty for this coupe.
oh, AND, why is there another side indicator on the side? so you have one on the mirror and another on the side??

I like the exterior a lot! The interior seems high quality like the W212 but I'm not a fan of the steering wheel design and the air-con vents above the center console look "naked" without the metal frame that they have in the W212.

That's not a side indicator, that is a badge.
