So merc are trying to pull off creating a hybrid between an estate car and a coupe. Meh, it MIGHT work.

dead in the water if you ask me. the spectre of the r-class looms heavily over this model, even if it does have more sporting pretensions

This car has no relation to the R-Class whatsoever. The R-Class is built on a completely different chassis and is probably 50% longer and heavier than this. And the R-Class is butt ugly. This car looks good!

I believe he meant that, like the R-class, this car is destined to fail. They aren't related mechanically at all. But they are both ultra-niche cars which nobody needs, but which Mercedes will (try to) convince them they want.

There are two different word origins, one being english (brake) and the other French (break). Both usages are correct.

Ha, I thought that was the BMW X6. Ah well, at least that thing is a performance benchmark in its class, if at the cost of being completely impractical and extravagant.

This really does look good! Why the E class doesn't come with a stetchted leather consol as this?

It only needs a rear door like the one on Mazda RX8. Still it's beautiful!!!

When this concept debuted last year, I immediately found that it was so hard to resist. Even with the introduction of E class Sedan and Coupe, I still believe that this shooking brake is the most elegant and beautiful in E series.

I would sell my left nut for one if they manage to engineer the production model to be pillarless like this concept. Ah, I love shooting brake designs. @ Zeitgeist MD, I agree -- this is a superbly elegant car.

It looks beautiful... Kind of like a more grown-up version of a Brera I'd take this over the Panamera and buy a roadster with the change left over.

Why? has noone mentioned about the rare end of this E-class. It look so SIMILAR to the new MAZDA6 wagon! especially the lights. German going Jap?..lol cool. but overall looks really nice, especially the front end! very agressive and original.
