| From what's available both design are splendid but very decorated which isn't expected of German design. There are countless of diagonal lines in both front ends, and the same applies to the Panamera. Is this the new direction of automotive design? I doubt that Audi will walk down the same path. |

| I cant really vote yet I dont think. From first looks the bonnet on the F10 looks too busy.. Way too early to decide though. Im really happy with the E-class anyway, so until I see the F10, E-class is still the winner for me.

| EnI, you want to even up the comparison?  Here's a more equal picture of the W212. |

| i thought as time would pass i would be able to stomach the E class some more. but to no avail. i cannot understand or withstand those headlights, neither in profile and least of all head on. the hips add nothing to the design. i don't know, while the W211 was a nice car, and i had absolutely nothing against it (in fact i liked its relaxed elegance), this E simply doesn't cut it for me, i find it appaling, MB has moved into a design sphere diametrically opposite to what i like. |
