wtf is up with that extra black plastic "window extension" in the rear quarter window........
why do car makers do that. just make the window smaller. who cares if it doesn't match the roofline

Mercedes E-Class-Coupe Caught Almost Undisguised
Caught by WCF reader "Nikolaus", these are the best shots yet of the new 2010 Mercedes E Class Coupe with nearly all its camouflage removed.
A rear diffuser and what seems to be a taped up AMG logo on the boot lid suggest this prototype could be the E63 AMG Coupe. But Mercedes' models from the AMG division all feature a quad exhaust layout whereas this prototype has the rectanglular twin exhausts mimicking the style seen on the recent leaked official photos of the regular E Class Sedan. The front end sports a grille featuring two horizontal bars, a style which differentiates this variant from the sedan and estate variants of the new E-Class line-up.
The engine range is likely to be shared with the rest of the E class range. That includes a 3.5 liter V6, a 5.4 liter V8 and an uprated 6.2 liter AMG V8. Diesels will likely also be on offer for the cabriolet, given how quiet they've become in recent years. Mercedes new generation of clean diesels expected in the cabriolet are: the 200, 220, 250 and 300 CDI, as well as the 350 BlueTec at the top of the range.
The E-Class Coupe will debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show alongside the sedan variant, the cabrio and AMG versions will follow later in the year in Frankfurt.

Looks like another ghastly Benz that will only look right with huge wheels and the AMG bodykit. To think they had by far the best looking car lineup just 4 -5 years ago.
Gotdamn wheelarches and random lines, giant grills and weird window lines.
That window line is still very feline, one of the issues I have with the 3GS, it tapers very softly up then down. The 2GS curves the other way for a more aggresive look.
