I just dont know if I can wait another full year for the W213.
i absolutely hate the tablet screen! Love the nu look, e63 is my all time dream car, Which I will never be able to afford!

All of all things i wouldn't let that be your indicator. Mercedes has about 3 mirror designs across all their vehicles.

Nice to see that, unlike many sedans today, the rear roofline doesn't look like it went halfway through a crusher, or ending up like a hump-back whale. It's actually tall enough (or at least appears so, from the image posted) to put real adults in the rear seat.

It's going to look like a smaller S class and a larger C class and you'll struggle to tell what it really is from a distance ......

At night, from the back there is no way to tell the difference between C or S.

Unlike Audi which did the same with A4 and A8, Mercedes will not have a problem with this cause its freakin Mercedes.

That reminds me of the early 2000s.

Actually, you can tell from the lights, from the fiber optic circle designs. The S class has three circles, and the C class has two. Subtle but a key indicator.

I think MB has been pretty consistent across all models. But ever since the S class they have debuted this mirror design, followed by the C and you can assume the E as well. All the other models use the old "arrow" design.

The AMG GT is still using the old design.

Anyways, the head lights have been revealed for the E-class
