The new E-classes are definately pimp. No doubt about it. That black one looks sort of like a GS imo.

Only thing I'd change would be the wheels. At first glance they almost look like the C-Class wheels. I agree that they're too conservative for the rest of the car. But besides that I say it is damn near perfect, especially the grille and foglights.

Looks like Fabulous Expand wheels and Brabus kit. Not bad.

Well i'm really glad you guys like it. It makes me alot more comfortable with my decision...

I'm pretty disappointed about the new Lexus designs. To me the new GS and IS are just a different kind of bland. I understand completely about Mercedes reliability problems but the E class seems to have been sparred from most of the problems. I recently purchased some Indian Head quarter eagle gold coins at a jaw dropping price. I'm looking at making a grip off of them. Enough to trade in my IS300 for a 03' E500 with 26,000 miles and a extended warranty (very very important) and a set of 20" Maya DTR's (along with the Brabus Kit of course)

So pretty much imagine the car I posted with Maya DTR's instead of Fabulous Expands.

I still love Toyota. This has nothing to do with brand loyalty or anything like that, its about where I am in my life right now and with everything going on (I also just got a contract to shoot instructional videos for a very large bank) it seems like this is the way to go. Besides, this will probably be what I drive till they finally come out with the LF-A. Nothing is set in stone and it’d be at least a week till I would pull the trigger on the E500 but I wanted to gauge the reaction of my CL brethren before making a choice.

Now I remember what makes Lexus owners so great, you guys arn't blinded by brand loyality, or country pride or any stupid petty BS like that... you see it for what it is; a gorgeous car.

You guys are great

Looks pretty cool! Personally, I think it'd look better with a chrome grill though.
