I wonder why the Germans always put the main light switch where you will knock it with a knee when you get in and out of the car.
The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.

Looks like a C-Class.. I'd have to see them side-by-side to find differences.

Remember when an S class or E class was something special that stood out and the C class was just meh....

Just as I suspected, they can lose the C, E and S and simply go with S, M and L.

Yep.  But the E looks the best to my eye.

While I think the new E looks amazing and it will be a perfect sized vehicle for me  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) I believe MB should have kept it different.
The C and S always sort of looked alike and the E always had the exotic - albeit conservative -  looks!

You mean the E-class had funny headlights for almost 20 years?  :P

Yup! it was cool how MB decided to do something completely different with it in 1996!...you'd look at the E and automatically identify it as an E!

It's true, though at the time those headlights were pretty controversial. I think they worked well on that gen though.

Agreed.  Looking on those 3 pictures side-by-side, I like how that top crease along the side of the car goes through the door handles on the E.   Looks better than the S and C where it falls beneath them.

I noticed that as well and it is a brilliant design detail!  It's almost as if the designers noticed this after the S and C and finally got it right with this one.  Then again I think the E has been the best looking MB sedan as far back as I can remember.
