I find this generation of E-Coupe to look really awesome. I wants. Heavy panting is occurring.

The previous generation (2010-2017) was a bit blase IMHO. The CLK prior to that had its together.

Fob - the two you posted are S-Class coupes basically. Much bigger. Different line of cars.
They are awesome though, especially the unicorn 560SEC Widebody.

Yep. I chatted with a dude at a gas station recently who was gassing up his '94 cherry red E320 Cab. It wasn't a beater but was definitely in rough shape, but sounded amazing, helped no doubt by his transplanting the 3.2 for the 3.6

Negative, mmret, those you posted are indeed S-classes but the ones Fob posted were limited-run E-class coupes.

That said, I agree the new E-coupe looks very, very nice -- way nicer than the last-gen, and especially the current amorphous-blob C-coupe.

Fob's pics are of W124 coupes - for sure E-Class.  The top one is a stock E-Class coupe from the early/mid 90's, and the bottom one is a wide-body conversion done by I'm-not-sure.  Could be AMG.

The W126 Coupe is awesome too.  I love the MBs from that era.

I stand corrected! Didn't realize there were E coupse before the w208.

stunning interior:

Call this an antidote to the recent spate of bizarrely over-styled creations coming from Japan. The E-Class Coupe embraces simple elegance and timeless proportions.

well said!

As yet, there is no upward pointing radar in the event of a drone or seagull attack.

From the “How did they think of that?” file, Pre-Safe Sound sends a high-volume blast of pink noise through the audio speakers in the milliseconds before a crash. This preconditions the ears to limit the damage done by high-pressure sound levels of an accident.

Interesting...I've dealt with tens of thousands of car accidents by this point and not a single one claimed for any sort of hearing loss absent a major head impact (and even those are very few and far between).  I think this is just marketing.
