Is it me or does the rear passenger window seem very very small?

Man... that was a quick turnover on the design. Usually MB and the Germans keep the same designs for more than 3 years... I like the new look, but it may be just too soon!

I think the article speculated it would be a 2009 model.

That's exactly what I thought. It definately looks more sleek and lean. It looks fast just standing still...

no i mean they are getting similar. the cls and the e class are based on the same platform anyway.

it's almost like the 2gs and the 3gs. when i get in the 3 gs, i noticed that the windows are smaller than my car.

makes the car look more bulky, not necessarily a bad thing

WOW!

I love that design. Hopefully it looks exactly like that.

Nobody's mentioned the SLR's taillights yet. Excellent touch.

Another good looking E-class, as it continues to move closer and closer to Japanese in total design. I like it. Seems giant wheel arches and creases in the sides are the new benz cues.
