Seems like Mercedes is continuing with the 4 headlamps tradition
from the W210.If it aint broke,dont fix it.
When we first spotted prototypes of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz
E-Class, it was pretty obvious the midsize sedan hasn't changed
much. Even with heavy camouflage, its overall size and shape tell
us that it barely differs from the current model. Unlike the
smaller, extensively redesigned
2008 C-Class, the next-generation E-Class will continue on a
more evolutionary track.
To see how the minor changes will affect the look of the 2010
E-Class, cues have been taken from the prototypes and combined with
a little inside knowledge to create these photo illustrations of
the E-Class sedan and wagon.
If there's anything about this luxury sedan that will get your
attention, it will be the new design for the front end. It appears
as though Mercedes-Benz is finished with oval headlights for
awhile, as this E-Class will get a more squared-off front fascia.
The headlights will adopt a shape that resembles that of the
current S-Class,
one that gives the E's nose a meaner, more angular look. Unlike the
new C-Class with its choice of grille treatments depending on the
trim level of the model, the E-Class is more likely to retain its
traditional design with a three-pointed star perched atop the
hood.
Apart from the obvious changes up front, the rest of the 2010
E-Class will remain classically conservative. No major changes to
the belt line, no distinctive window shapes — nothing. None of this
is necessarily a bad thing, as the E-Class is already one of the
best-looking sedans and wagons around. Expect some revisions to the
rear taillights and a few other minor detail upgrades, but nothing
as dramatic as the front clip.
Look for the official debut of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class at
the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.
