New Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) - Page 2

I agree with Tarmac; when I saw the first image, the word "Hyundai" popped into my mind.

Same here.

Horrific.

In a world of forward thinking vulgar car design, it's nice to know audi is still capable of producing elegant modern cars for the most part.

The only reason it looks like a Hyundai is because Hyundai copies Honda in their designs. Now that I think about it, Hyundai blatantly rips of their designs from quite a few car makers

Hyundai rips from Lexus (Geneis reminds a whole lot of LS's) , Audi (TT's interior vs Tiburon), Honda (Sonata vs Accord). Those are top 3 off the top of my head. Basically, they rip every reputable manufacturer out there.

+1. Don't like the headlights at all.

...and the Japanese rip off from the Germans. That`s why the MB looks like a Honda.

Hyundai does rip off Honda, and Hyundai does rip off MB, but, is that a valid reason this MB should look like the Hyundai which ripped off the Honda?

I'm sure size will help, in real life it is probably too big to be confused with any mid-size Honda or Hyundai. It might well have a presence. It doesn't mean it's pretty though.

interior looks nice

Certainly not and I do agree with you. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you will see that I do not like this particular design
