Ok, saw my first E class in real life today on the highway. Funny a C class sedan first drove by me, and then a E followed it. Boy I thought they both C class just with difference package so the rear is bit different until I notice the badge on the trunk! They are more similar in person than in pictures, and only by looking at the daytime running LED headlights strips that I can tell the difference from the front...
And it also just look like a C coupe as well, now I'm little disappointed since I was really considering a S coupe
as the next car, which I think it's the most beautiful coupe inside out on the road. However, I don't want to spend 150k+ for a car only a E and C coupe can look similar, which cost half as much :/

Ye I saw my 1st one yesterday and pulled right behind it at the red light to confirm it said E not C - the car is really hideous in real life even worse than the pics.
New 5 is being revealed this week - hopefully BMW doesn't mess up.
BTW saw the new Ccoupe as well the other day and wow is this thing hideous - even worse than the new E....Last gen MB designs were great but starting with the SL it went down. Thankfully S and S coupe still look great.
sheesh - due to changing regs and demands etc sedans and coupes are getting higher at the front and back - granted those pics probably show it in about the worst possible way...

The front has certainly gotten more upright, but you're mostly seeing a visual trick in the rear due to the styling. I must say, for me the coupe looks great in person. I think it has some seriously awkward angles in pictures, imo. Mostly from the front 3/4ths angle. This is really exemplified by the second picture of the blue one above...It looks awkward at 3/4ths but the black one in the background looks fantastic.

Which means they are getting uglier. Wish they had a better solution for these regs then all these big, overly thick grills that ruin designs. Sports cars are still offering sleek, lower, hoods/designs, why can't sedans and coupes?
Mercedes-Benz E-Class And Peugeot 3008 Ace Euro NCAP Tests
Mercedes-Benz's E-Class sedan and Peugeot's 3008 crossover have been awarded with a maximum five-star safety rating during the latest round of assessments conducted by Euro NCAP.
The German executive saloon has scored 95 percent for Adult Occupant, where the dummies' readings indicate 'good' or 'adequate' protection for the key areas of the body. The poorest rating noted is 'marginal' and was achieved by the rear passenger's chest, during the frontal full width impact.
The latest generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class is also child-friendly, with a 90 percent score, while the Pedestrian protection carries a 77 percent rating, with the front area of the hood and the A-pillars being noted 'poor'. In the Safety Assist, the four-door vehicle has been rated at 62 percent, thanks to the standard automatic emergency braking.
Unveiled earlier this year with an updated design that moves away from the previous MPV, the 2017 Peugeot 3008 has scored top notch as well in Euro NCAP's tests. The crossover showed either 'good' or 'adequate' protection for the adult occupants, with the only problem being on the driver's chest in the frontal impact, noted as 'marginal.
The Adult Occupant protection sits at 86 percent for the French vehicle, while Child protection was rated at 85 percent. In the pedestrian impact test, the new 3008 was rated with 67 percent and sees the lower and side parts of the windshields as the most problematic ones. Since the autonomous braking system is not standard on all models, the safety systems carry a 58 percent rating.

No way, C class and S class coupe are among the best looking coupes out there.

I'm not sure how you can think the S Class Coupe is beautiful and the C Class Coupe is hideous. The C Class Coupe basically looks like a mini S Class Coupe...

Agreed, they're both great designs. Although the S-class coupe, being so damn big it has a real imposing, heavy presence.
It's the proportion and interpretation of the design, I love the S and S coupe, and while think the C and C coupe look hideous and weird, and look half *** done. Very interesting how the similar design can make so much difference.
Yeah, this generation of mercs worst angle is the front 1/4 angle because of the slope butt.
It makes it look like it has no butt. The front quarter angle is hard to get right. Even the 3GS looked hideous from that angle.
bmw gets the front quarter angle done right as far as butts go
