Certainly NOT an improvement on the original...

On first glance, I'd have to agree.

Original was way sexier.  Along with the Maserati Quattroporte it was one of my favorite modern 4-door cars.

Only four door I ever lusted after...next to the 8 that is.

A little better - doesn't look as lithe as the original and those rear lights - yucky!

The coupe look is fine by me...on a 2 door.  But I firmly believe that 1 4 door sedan should/must keep its roofline horizontal until behind the head of a tall person sitting in the back seat.

the original was a much cleaner design.  too bad mercedes didn't really continue exploring that design language.
