Brand spanking new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is due to go on sale in mid-2010, but as per normal the frenzy of spy pics has been feeding upon itself for months yet. Of course WCF has been at thecutting edge of this frenzy, and with that same spirit we bring you these renderings of what the E-Class will probably look like when it hits the market.
Merc has demonstrated with their current crop of cars that they are ready for a design change. Sharper lines, more kink around the edges have signaled a harder approach to Merc, a sign that the world’s oldest luxury car maker is going aggressively at the younger market. Even their ad campaigns are a showcase of youth. Why C-Class is now sold as “your car, not your dad’s” for example.
E-Class is expected to debut a few new technologies for its segment, while existing ones including Bluetech and Diesotto, are to make an even bigger presence. Engines worn on the two body styles saloon and estate as proper, will be petrol-based, diesel-bound, hybrid-origin and a surprise fuel mix. The AMG performance version of the E-Class will for the first time, surpass 400kW/ 536 bhp.

this seems to be accurate, altho he could do better on the quality, at least the wheels in the same size.

Back end looks like 2003 Infiniti I 35 had some woopie with 2008 Toyota Camry....should've had protection. Ugly people should Use Condoms, help save the human race. LooooL

Whats happens when a 2006 E-Class and a 2006 330i sedan have a one night stand and, oops, they forget to use protection? This thing. Overall I'm happy with the shape: wedgy, stout and muscular; but I'm still hoping the details presented in the rendering are not accurate.

i'm sure the front will look nearly exactly like this one, but not sure about the rear...i don't like this one.

Rear is very inaccurate...still an ugly car no matter how the rear turns out.

pretty ugly to be honest. the light even tiny front completely doesnt match the over heavy side and back. it looks like a new kia opirus. has no class at all. dont even put it next to the A6, new S80 or BMW5.

I dunno. With what is happening to Mercedes now (although I have no idea what it is) the final product may just look like this crappy rendering which looks just like an oversized Chrysler Sebring sedan with that Bangle line that is getting quite boring. Whoever makes these renderings may be experienced in the photoshop area, but certainly not in the design field.

I really don't understand why everyone is upset by the string of new mercs. They look just like the old ones, marketed towards guys aged 60 and over. Face it, they are boring, expensive, and you need to be wearing a rolex to drive one.

March 26, 2008 12:12 AM
hopefully the price of this is as cheap as this looks seriously... that grill looks like its bout to fall off... and the design is not for me... any previous mercedes is worth keeping than buying their newer products such as this another example... the new SL!... keep the previous gen, i saw an sl500 yesterday and let me say, it still has its good looks
odysseus
March 26, 2008 12:21 AM
an actual bmw 5 series is much more attractive than this. i agree with joe when he say, that mercs are for guys over 60. but why in gods name have this old guys such a bad taste?!?

no no no no this is horrible it looks like the rear lights are frowning at u! but the front is abit better i guess

March 26, 2008 12:59 AM
If these renderings are accurate, i have lost faith in Mercs....they are going downhill. The previous E looks way better than this. Lets hope the renderings are way off.

i hope the final merc will look a lot better than this rendering.

this sucks, its really really ugly, come on, i could've done better than that, the back looks like a herse and the front looks like the c-class after a car accident, please mercedes, fix this, you've turned one of the best looking executive cars into one of the worst looking cars out of all classes. Its hideous!!!

March 26, 2008 3:09 AM
mercedes is not for guys for over 60 wtf are you talking about ? there are some insane amg's and current cl is like the hottest car on the streets , but this e class is ugly as focking heII

March 26, 2008 3:15 AM
you're trying to say that clk black series , cl63-65, slk55 , clk550, cls , e63amg , ml63 etc is for old guys ? even the non amg , sl , cl , s cls may look really good with sports package and a lot of young people in my area drive it , not sissy boys but gangsta people , russians, jews because they look solid rich and mean , but some benzes do look like for 60 year olds like e350 , ml350 , c300 luxury lol with 14 inch wheels etc , but i think this is the ugliest E class ever , it looks horrible i know the quality is going to make it look better but it really doesnt look young and manly looks like camry typa shiit

March 26, 2008 3:20 AM
haha yeah, these jealous gimps saying *all* mercs are aimed at oldtimers just would kill to have a 500hp+ amg in their garage instead of their 2nd hand accord

Where is Mercedes-Benz badge on bonnet!! Looks good but it?s not fit for Mercedes E-class.

March 26, 2008 3:27 AM
and stop whining about the e-class design, these medium-sized mb's have never been beautiful cars for half a century: theyre just reliable, safe, comfy long trip cruisers/taxis.. if you want beauty go for a cls or clk, if you want muscle get a c63/sl63 amg
Joe_Limon
March 26, 2008 3:59 AM
If I had a 500hp+ amg in my garage I would sell the pos, take a loss on it and buy something decent. All the while slapping myself questioning why I decided to buy such a pos in the first place.
Joe_Limon
March 27, 2008 6:32 AM
I wouldn't care if it could out handle/perform a f1 car. I would still sell the pos. They look depressing, uninspired... blah blah blah. I said this line too many times to count now yet it still won't sink into your thick skulls.

Go drive an E63AMG, or a S65, and then try and tell me Mercedes suck.

ffs don't you understand english? I don't care how they drive. I don't want one cause I hate the look.
ck314
March 28, 2008 8:36 PM
then just say you dont like the looks, which is perfectly acceptable, but dont state its a p.o.s. simply because it doesnt suit your tastes.. its like affirming rembrandt or goya paintings were messy bullcrap instead of saying you like other styles better -grow up
Joe_Limon
March 29, 2008 12:31 AM
If the ugliest car you can think of was modified to include all the latest greatest technologies, and could outperform every other car on the planet. You would still call it a pos because you would never want to be seen in it. The same goes with me and the MB cars.
MB.65
March 31, 2008 12:40 AM
all you friggin mercedes fanatics there's no need to bash someone for their tastes. just respect his opinion on mercedes amgs that they're crappy cars. and to think that you can get a s65 for usd 185,000, that really is a pos in comparison to a bentley flying spur (which will travel 50mph more on the autobahn), the continental gt, the ferrari f430 and a bunch of other exotics that are honestly much better ways to be spending that large sum of money. and i don't understand why people make assumptions about people for their opinions. why don't all of you just grow the hell up and stop bashing people for what they have to say about your favorite god damn car.
ck314
March 31, 2008 8:30 PM
dude, learn to read the whole thread before appointing yourself as the zorro-man ok.. first off he said *all* mb's are aimed at oldtimers, which is ridiculous; secondly, he further stated that a 525hp cls/sl63 (not 65) amg was a piece of shit.. look, to me a tata indica or a ssangyong rexton might be a p.o.s., if you consider the aforementioned amg's are in the same league, then go ahead and have the balls to say it.. no one was arguing w/ him for DISLIKING mb's but for making these stupid assumptions.. thirdly, the flying spur is simply a modified vw phaeton with turbocharger, and the s65 is quite more powerful, so without speed limiter (factory option) it would overcome those top speed figures easily eventho trying to reach more than 300km/h with a huge luxury sedan on open roads (crowded autobahns or not) sounds stupid and devoid of maturity

LOL!!!! idk what the big deal is...have you ppl seen the current E-Class?? The 1 b4 with the ugly bug eyes and that weird shape??? the 300 E???? Mercedes have never been beautiful cars apart from the rare occurence of like a Gullwing or Sl-Class or CLS- Class....this is not surprising to me.....i bet u inside is class leading though
wisp
March 26, 2008 7:54 AM
...and now the E class has stolen the corollas front drop look design. Mercedes - a has been. Innovation indeed (my foot).
Bilal-Barhum
March 26, 2008 8:50 AM
THE FRONT is very good , but the back light or the back in general is not as much as that , its a Korean style isnt it , its not the german style .
The_woo_factor
March 26, 2008 9:47 AM
*puke* I hope for Mercedes sake that this is not the new E class. Back of a corolla?

The front is not good at all!!!!!!! The side is rubbish. No innovation. No style. No Woo factor. Utter piece of garbage.

Is it me or the new mercedeses are getting quite ugly? No seriously! The way they look is awful.I like the current one much more.And it's not only E-class...

March 26, 2008 11:29 AM
I heared news that E-Class will be the top of Mercedes , but I don't think that is true . because it's impossible to take the glory of S-Class away .

March 26, 2008 6:14 PM
Something tells me it will look nothing like this. It has nothing about it that resembles Merc design or family design cues. The rear window/roofline looks like it was lifted from the last gen American-spec Accord. The rest of it looks Japanese/Korean. Maybe this is a new Kia Optima? lol
BMWer
March 26, 2008 6:48 PM
Not sure these rendering will be anything like the production car. That being said, this rendering is butt ugly, and the real thing will probably be butt ugly as well. Who cares how much power any Mercedes has, if I can go and buy another car which is just as powerful, quicker, and WAAAAY better looking? AMG shmayemgee, this badge doesn't mean crap. M badge? Now that actually has some kind of significance...

March 26, 2008 10:12 PM
I must agree with everyone on the back, but to be honest, no offence wcf, but i go with autobilds renderings because they have proven to be the closest over the years. Anyway it looks ok, i like the front, i think mercedes should hire back Burno Sacco. For me the best Mercs were the r107,w124,w126,r129,w140,c140, basically 1986-1995. Also, I think they should kill off the clk and replace it with a E class coupe/convertible, and also kill off the r ml and gl.

NOOOO... wjaprep!!! they shouldnt kill off the ml and gl!!! they r like so kwl!!! but they can kill off the r class thats just ugly

Fair enough, they just need to be built in Germany and given some bigger mirrors

mercedes please look at these photos and our comments pleaseeeee this e class is just fukng Hideous wtf is wrong with them , no wierd E class please , take another year and make something different looking this shyt looks like it has no class , horrible , the previous e class with a little bigger rims it already looked good because it has a muscle body but this shyt looks girly as heII
[]V[]orbid[]V[]an
March 27, 2008 9:40 AM
hmmmm....i really don't think these renderings are correct. Given the design initiative of the C and then the updated SL it seems mercedes have gone to a more muscular look but who knows, the E, at least for me, has always stood for enemic. if it does look like this...sigh...the front is actually Ok, its a bit disproportionate when you consider the headlights and the size of the fenders and it seems to make the front seem a lot worse than it is. If you guys remember that the SL looked a little "e"-tarded as well but when the AMG version got banged out the large front fenders actually complimented those big squarish headlights. Side wise though....they really bangled themselves to death...and the rear....i prefer the camry. It almost seems like Mercedes is having an identity crisis...

March 27, 2008 9:23 PM
Well this site had some other spy pics claimed as E-Class like 3-4 months back. and that E-Class looked sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than this one.. it looks like M3 from the back :S.. what the helll is this ???? I hope they dont come out with this... My dad really loved that shape of the coming E-Class and we might buy it.. BUT NOT THIS ONE.. WTF

March 28, 2008 4:19 PM
Well "Diesotto" is going to be one of the most revolutionary techniques ever presented in a car. It combines the advantages of a classic petrol engine like high revs and good sound with the advantages of a diesel engine like low fuel consumption and high torque. Daimler is going to stay the most innovative car producer in the world...

uhmm ugly compared to the current e class, i mean mercedes styling has fucked up these current years.
unless it grows on me, not my style

March 31, 2008 7:17 AM
everyone on here who bashes a mercedes has never owned or driven a mercedes (in the last couple years) so they are probably basing it off a late 90's mercedes that was problem bound and was cheap...
All you haters out there, go test drive a mercedes now, and you will be supprised. Go test drive a car that has soul and a personality, unline a bmw, which all look the same, except gives you the "ultimate driving machine" but ugly... thats like someone good in bed but who looks like last years arm wrestling champion.

the car won't look like this, maybe the headlights will but the rest will be totally different. especially the taillights, they look crap
Allu
March 31, 2008 8:25 PM
If thats the case, then not happening for me... but from the spyphotos it seems, that the headlight sprinklers are still somewhere in between the lights, so the cap should be wider... and we should still have 2 lights :D

This is really funny. IT IS A RENDERING and not done by MB. This is someone's guess what the new E class will look like...and while the E class may not be an Italian beauty it has always been considered a handsome, powerful, classic automobile. Everyone should calm down MB would not make an E class that looks like this terrible rendering...
