The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan is a four-door, five-seat vehicle that comes in either Sport or Luxury trims. The new sheetmetal that adorns the E-Class is still recognizable as a Mercedes, but the latest mid-size sedan has clearly evolved from the previous generation. Car and Driver reports that for 2010, the E-Class lineup is "thoroughly redone," with styling changes that include "four parallelogram-shaped lamps that look unique but still make sense on an E-Class." Motor Trend isn't quite as impressed, asserting that the E-Class 2010's "design sits somewhere between crisp and boxy, with a bluff front end desperate (almost too desperate) to imply status." Cars.com thinks some elements are at odds, noting the "eyebrow-like fog lights sit in the three-piece lower air dam," while, "in comparison, the taillights seem much more reserved." Overall, however, reviewers are impressed by the Mercedes E-Class' new styling elements, and Car and Driver says "the roundness of the rear fender flare and the horizontal line that sits above work far better in person than in a two-dimensional photograph." Consumers likely won't be turned off by the new design, which Automobile Magazine contends "comes off as genuinely German in a way no other brand can quite capture."
