RE: New Mercedes E63 AMG leaked
Discussion
They design the most 'E-Class' looking E-Class since the W124, with nice straight lines and an elegant, proud face, but proceed to facelift it with the nose of a swoopy hatchback and think it is cohesive? Utterly dreadful facelift, akin to what Hyundai did to the original Coupe or Citroen did to the first C5.
Dont get me wrong I love big fast cars..
But it's another Merc with a massive engine, a million horse power and looks like every other Merc on the road.
Lets face it, 85% will be white with big black alloys and hard to tell if its a 2.0ltr diesel or a 5.5 V8 unless you look at the badges or hear it running.
I am surprised they've kept the big V8 considering BMW's current downsizing antics?

Am I the only one that thinks the Mercedes badge in the grill which is now filled in with gloss black plastic on all new Mercs looks totally naff, cheap, aftermarket and just a bit rubbish?
The old gunsight was much better looking and great for lining up cyclists (kidding!!)
If its solid black around the badge its a lense for the distronic - the photos are always specced up cars with it fitted, if its a non sport spec car with a bar grille and 3 pointed star it forms a blank gloss area between the grille bars.The old gunsight was much better looking and great for lining up cyclists (kidding!!)
