That rear is terrible.
Those fogs are terrible.
The interior is terrible.

I hope these are renderings.

 

if that's the production car Clarkson will have something to say about it for sure

 

Wow, that looks horrible

 

These pics match the spyshots posted elsewhere...it may indeed be real.

 

All I can say is that it looks quite similar to previous renderings ...

 

holy Hyundai

 

Looks terrible from the pics, interior is awful. The current E class looks much better inside and out. Maybe that will change once some better pics are available or you see it in person.

 

That's terrible. I really love the current E-class.

I guess the 5 series is getting a boost in sales next year.

 

As a taxi it will do well in Europe. I wouldn't buy one with my own money though.

 

I think MB are having problem designing their cars' rear. Look at how ugly the new c-class rear! and now here comes the Hyundai-ish rear. omg!

 

Someone took a C class, enlarged and lengthened it and made some digital modifications to the design. Sorry, but to me this looks like a photoshop and not like the real thing. Notice how in the dead center front shot the outer headlights look normal while in the 3/4 side profile shot they don't. Photoshop, I am almost positive.

 

Design is always a subjective feature. Personally I think these rear lights, photoshop or not, seem to be an evolution of past E class rear lights.

 

I guess I was wrong. Did some googling and found these on a Benz forum.

 

I think its a major improvement over the current.
