Exactly. And typically people who pay 100k don't like their cars looking the same as a car that's half the price.

That having been said; I still go from liking the new E to just 'meh'. I wish it had more of a cockpit feel. The interior is beautiful however.

I cant say I get really excited bout either.

E-class with sports package which consists of AMG front spoiler , sideskirts and rear bumper..icing on the cake would be the rear bootlid spoiler.

The 5 still looks like a sausage. With wheels.

The tires on that E look huge! Wish BMW would get it right with all their models and give some symmetry to the exhaust tips (one on each side as opposed to two on the left). All regular 5's and E classes look like crap. M's and AMG's are a different story altogether.
