Nearly all the posters here are so full of it. The E-Class is often conservative, it has a broad function, as a basic saloon, as a taxi, and as a luxury car and a powerful sports model. This is a nice evolution and a return to more consistent Mercedes values after about 10 years of the brand being cheapened by the previous general S, C and E classes.

Looks exactly how we expected it to. The front is somewhat appealing but as with most Mercedes I only become interested with the AMG models. I do not like the back of this from the picture but perhaps its the colour. Give me an XF, A6, GS or 5-Series. Particularly the 5-Series render on the main page on this site.
Im looking forward to seeing the Coupe version.

I had the same comment about the new 7-series BMW ; Nice front - Ugly rear / especially the rear lights /

I like it alright, the back is ok... and I find the foglights odd, but other than that I see nothing wrong with it, cant wait for the coupe.

i doubt that the picture of the rear is the final design of the car...maybe the front is true but the rear isnt because the rear light is much smaller than this..check the spyshots and ull see what i mean.. this is too big rear light to be real..

I know I shouldn't, but I really liked it. Looks more expensive and relevant than the current generation... seems to be more aimed to the chauffer-driven executives around the world than to the german cab drivers who have been buying the E-class for years now.
And yes, it looks chunkier and heavier, but if you look for sex appeal on a Merc sedan for an E-class budget, you might try a fully loaded C-class (maybe an AMG) or a base model CLS.

even if the rear light looks to big to me but overall the car isnt bad at all but we shall wait for the official photos to judge on the car... i think it wont be bad..the coupe though will look much better in my opinion...

I miss the days when MBs were timeless. The overdone styling of this (plunging front bumper trying to emulate everyone else's "big grille" look, needless swage in rear door and fender) will age very quickly.
It's actually a pleasant shape and has nice stance,a low cowl and good proportions. Just all the bling that dampens my affection for it... That and the unfortunate coincidence of inadvertently cloning the Mitsubishi Galant's taillamps.

Hahahaha I really laugh at people that like this design. Everyone makes fun of BMW's design but Mercedes is so damn boring! Plus this thing looks like a Hyundai. Crap!

Compared with recent Hyundai design this is way behind ... it's more on a par with the likes of Daewoo ... or even worse, a cheap Chinese version of a Daewoo ... OMG :(

I think they've inadvertently made it look more premium than the S-Class.
Never have I seen a gradual design change with the E-Class. They're always using the E-Class to pioneer Merc's new design philosophy. This is why every E looks dated after about 3 years. I see the same outcome for this model.
Overstyled to the point it looks like a Cadillac.

it's actually the other way round, they first pioneer the design language with S, then they make a similar but much smaller C and after this goes the E. W140+W201+W210, W220+W202+W211, and now W221+W203+W212.

Hmmm, if you look at the latest Merc concept shown in that MyComand vid. That is the new design. The more sharply cut headlamps and front spoiler is mimicked in this design.
The first break away from the 'rectangle lights' mercedes' came with the E Class W210 (1995). Then the S class W220 (1999), then the C class W203 (2000)
Same with the current models. First the E class 2003, S Class 2006, C Class 2007.
Depends what you think of as a radical change in design.

Wrong. First MB with plastic bumpers? S-class (W126); first new wave design in the 80s? 190.

"These are the OFFICIAL pictures of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class..."

In the US you can call a car a 2010 model year as long as its retail release date comes on or after January 2, 2009. You just can't have more than two Jan 1's in a model year.
There are various regulatory and marketing reasons to go with one year versus the next (meeting CAFE standards, certain safety regulations, how long a model year you want to have, and the effect on residual value, to name a few). Considering there have been 2009 models on the US market since summer of '08, March of '09 would be pretty late to introduce an '09 model. (But I think Honda is doing just that with the Insight, presumably mostly for the CAFE credits.)

this will be the first time in my entire life (16 years) that i'll say that a bimmer looks better than a merc...although i don't really like the 5 series i find it better looking than this .. i'm very happy that my father bought the current generation E-class instead of this! that would be a good excuse not to buy the merc and go for the A6 instead... anyway i don't like it,you can do better than that mercedes-benz

I think this car will have much more presence than the current model, but the back-end really does look chinese. M-B certainly weren't going for a sporting look with this design. Very diplomatic looking.

i said the same thing when i saw the S class pictures, but when i saw it with my own eyes i totally changed my mind, because it looks different from the back in real life
