I saw the new M in person, and IMHO it still looks like an oversized G37, with a bit of Maxima styling cues mixed in. I found it blended in with traffic quite easily.
The E-Class IMHO is stunning in person, much more than in pics. It has a real presence that a midsize premium luxury sedan should have.
You've got it all wrong. Hyundai models look like Benz and Infiniti vehicles (among other brands), not the other way around.
Why give credit where it isn't due?

Pole Position
Arguably the weakest point of new M is the rear but that can be changed very easily by just rearranging LED cluster. Even without changing the shape of taillights.
In this chop clear line that goes trough taillight simply follows body curves and blends in within trunk shape to make it a lot more fluid design.

This is not the first comparo that favors plush ride over sport. Its seems to be a new trend. Even Euro magazines have praised soft rides and have been very critical of stiff chassis recently (There is one test where 80,000Euro BMW F10 530d was praised for its relaxed ride).
Finally it came to their heads that these elephants of cars can't be sports cars?
The most manufacturers can do is to give you direct steering input, fast 0-60 times and no bodyroll to give you confidence that you are driving something sporty. And that's a good thing I am all in for that but just don't look for an Evo in these cars because there is no need for such thing.
Who would have thought that GS had it right all along
