Next generation Mercedes Benz E-Class (Official thread)

Wow, I thought the interior of the new e class looked weak, but that was until the AMG version. Holy cow does that silver and black interior look pathetic. They might as well just ripped out the interior of the Chrysler 300 and thrown it in there.

I also think the new tails really messed up the car. I was hoping the AMG appearance package would help but it doesn't.
My last hope with the new E now lies with the new E63. I hope that it has an even more aggressive rear bumper with four exhaust tips, C63 diffuser, and tail.
I am already a bit disappointed that it will have 525 hp compared to its competition such as the CTS-V, RS6 , and the upcoming M5 that is supposed to have 550 hp.

I'm almost sure that wheel is the EURO spec wheel. They tend to carry different wheels than the US spec cars. I can almost assure you that they will offer a different wheel.

When the 210 came out, I really liked it. When the 211 was released, I thought MB did a great job of making it better. The 211 E55s are so sleek while the e63 was just that much more aggressive looking.
The 212? I've seen a few shots that made me go hmmm ... but other than that, it will take some getting used to (kind of like the 3GS for me). I was hoping the AMG version would really make me get off the fence. Although it is a step above the standard version, I am still reserving judgment.

True. The current E350/E550 with the AMG sports package still is visually different from the full-blown AMG E63. My hope is that the W212 E63 will be better looking than the standard E.
