I still prefer the original. And in my opinion this original outlook is one of the best back-design I've ever seen before, for a new sport limo car.

Merc-Benz have their own style of luxury !! I don't like BMW becos their design looks younger and not as class as the BENZ.. just my own opinion .. thanks.. :) i think the original 1 looks better..

Mercedes purposely design it uglier so that after 2 years, they can introduce a better looking facelift model. Imagine if cars in the 80s are designed like an aston martin db9. I wonder how will they look like now if that's the case think about it this way. Mercedes purposely design it uglier so that after 2 years, they can introduce a better looking facelift model.

The new rear tail light for E-Class looks like the one behind Toyota Camry. 2 totally different class of cars. As a Mercedes Benz supporter, i really hope their 'state-of-the-art' design team would realize what have they done to their E-Class and make some move. I they don't, BMW 5 series will again dominate for many years to come. What a great job from Theophilus Chin.

Theophilus 1 is rather bland. Too similar to that of c-class. Wide tail light makes the car look wider and gives more stance. E-class may look dull to some but it's is truly an executive car. Should not call dull, it's more to sedate but muscular. Back to old school squarish theme.... yay I still think that the original w212 is a better design. Theophilus 1 is rather bland.
