Default Mercedes new E-Class interior...

Maybe its just me but does this look something like the new Accord?







All in all though I really like the new E-Class. This is definately going to be the class leader that other car companies are going to shoot for. I can't wait to see Bangle's new 5-series offering though.

There's a similar shape, but I would not rule it a copycat. Many other cars has the same V shape center console. The new Lexus ES300 has a very similar shape.

I like the new style E-class very much though.

I wasn't calling it a copycat...rather a design that is very luxurious and well laid out. My post was to be more of a compliment if anything.

The new E-Class also has the panoramic sunroof like the one on the C-Coupe.

This will be a great car.

iNteGraz92...sadly I think it is going to...although the new & has grown on me a lot.

My bad. I didn't mean that harsh about the copycat thing.

I've seen the panoramic sunroof on the C-coupe and I loved it. Glad MB is using it in the E class. :bigthumb:

The old E-Class did nothing for me. This new one, along with the SL, truly makes me appriciate Mercede's design team.

Anyways, thats quite an honor, for a humble lil Honda to be compared to a M-B that cost twice as much.

What about the option that allows the car to be cooled while its parked. It uses solar power in the sunroof panels and cools the car like 15 degrees while its parked. Yeah, here in Texas, thats the equal of heated seats for you people that are up north.

Anyways, since the current M5 is perfection, I have a hunch the new 5 will be Banglafied to uglyness.

I really like the new E-Klasse (auf Deutch, bitte!) It's been cleaned up and the overall body design is very tight. No slab-sidedness or bulky look that can tend to be a drawback of some MB designs.
