True!! I am a fan of most of the cars the german manufacture produce!! But there are some I like more and some that are not that cool!!

But most of the BMW and Mercedes models are that great, that I wouldn't know, which one is best - but here (F10 vs. W212) it is easy: F10!!

Way too early, indeed. However, I can't see how people find the merc good looking. Especially the back. Looks is subjective, of course, but this is no good looking car.

Truely sexy, aggressive... BMW for me.

Too early for now, but I can already say that the W212 will have a very hard time to come when the new 5 and A6 arrive. The design won't last long I'm afraid.
For now it's pretty, but only because it lacks next gen counterparts.

^well i think your wrong.. E classes are often designed to with stand time..
in fact most MB´s are made that way..
(besides W210)

Look at the W211 looked fresh until 10th jan..lol
W220 looked fresh until 06
SL still looks like one of the best roadster on earth..

and the list goes on and on..

So try to learn this :
ONLY a new Mercedes can make a existing Mercedes look old...
The competition can NOT

^That's true actually,the FL W211 still looks gorgeous and elegant even with the new E is out,not dated at all

Just_me · 02-26-2009, 07:48 AM

The previous E-class looks more elegant than the new E-class and the latest E-klass looks sportier than previous E-class.

I think you are very right on this Artist! The Mercedes design direction is focused in elegant designs rather than the more "extreme" designs we see from BMW. And we know that elegance doesn't die with time and holds its value. That's why MBs always look great despite their age. Due to their elegance!

I highly disagree giannis, agressive has never meant untimeless, the 2 Bimmers genarations before the E65 plus some other classics like the old 6er and 3.0 cs are one the most agrerssive and the most timeless at the same time.
