Contrary to the UCP jury's opinion, I find this W212 very attractive. Solid, angular, modern too - very Merc like.
No more soft and squishy E-class, ze Panzerwagen is back!
Nothing wrong with solid angular and modern, but look at those headlights!

Visca Catalunya!
I used a hyperbole, of course, but I find it increasingly frustrating that people comment on silly and minor design aspects of new cars, rather than looking to the overall technical value. The boot lid of one of the BMW 7-designs springs to mind.... totally irrelevant, but the talk of the town.

I don't like it, especially the rear, because it seems higher than what I suspect it actually is, and even thinner, without a real presence I would expect on a such a car. Probably the horizontal lights bring an even more flat idea to the whole rear part, so I think my problem resides in them.
the front: with the first leaked images, renderings and even the last spy shots with less camos, I thought the smaller headlamps were simply wrong, put of place and without a particular decent look.
looking at the car they started making a sense though, and even if I can't actually understand the whole complex design of them because they somehow manage to disappear in the car's front, they create some lines flowing on the bonnet and giving a dynamic yet solid look to the front view.
So I like it, but I also think it's not working with the rear if considered together.
Personally, I don't like the squared central console, it reminds me too much of the consoles from the eighties and nineties, and I never liked them, actually I though and still think the interios' design was quite underestimated in those years usually, even if I liked, mainly as a kid but it still works, the use-as-may-buttons-as-you-can trend going on in those years.
as an opposite, I don't like recent Opel's minimalist interiors'.

I like it a lot, except I think the headlights could be just once piece, so do away with the little break between the lights...
