Not me! Could it possibly look more boring? It's got looks that could cure insomnia. I've described modern MB design as being inspired by melting jelly beans but this slab of butter takes it to another level!

So unimaginative. Hard to tell the difference between C, E, and S now. Back end looks pretty bleh.

You know E class is a bad design when you can't tell it apart from a C class .. Just saying.

I do have to say it's almost impossible to distinguish the C from the E. I literally have to look at the badge to know what I'm looking at.

Now go ask Mercedes guy to tell there is the new 5-series vs new 7-series on the picture below without looking at the back...

Honestly I can tell which one's which but I am BMWs biggest fan. I will admit however that BMW is taking the same trajectory as Mercedes with cars being all the same 'design' but vary in sizes kind of like a Starbucks cup "line up" a la vente/grande/petite. Shame because although Chris Bangles was not liked by many, he did put forth an interesting line up and the cars were clearly discernible from a mile

An AMG version is getting an all new inline-6 cylinder with an electric compressor. Sounds interesting.

Looks slab-sided compared to C-coupe: you can see that Mercedes targets older people and traditionalists with this car. However the tablet control panel in E-coupe may be hard to accept for those conservative people.

Looks good to me. Being similar to the S isn't a bad thing IMO; that thing's sweet as fuck.

Sexy but the 6er Coupe seems to be in a higher class.
