If you're Mercedes-Benz, then what you have here is a failure to keep your photo shoots under wraps. First
Autobild came out with bare naked
shots of the 2009 E-Class, and now German magazine
Auto Zeitung has more shots of the car getting some fresh air.
With a minimal front end and a profile that rises seemingly without arc to a chunky back end, the car is reminiscent of a stretched Alfa Romeo Milano. We aren't sure how big these wheels are, but the car's increased upright stance makes them look exceptionally small. As usual with the launch of revolutionary E-Class designs, the car could take some time to get used to, but by the time E-Classes are clogging roads worldwide they will look perfectly natural.
There will be some excitement in the engine choices, including a 204 hp turbodiesel Bluetec, a BlueHybrid lump shared with the
S400, and a 550 hp V8 in the AMG. The new E will also benefit from closer association with its spin-offs. Now that the
CLK is no more, the E sedan will receive more of the spotlight that shines on its coupe and convertible siblings. If Mercedes doesn't get tired of the clandestine attention, we'll see the sedan for the first time at the 2009
Geneva Motor Show, with the other variants to follow at Frankfurt that same year.
