I've always liked the current generation E-class. Several people at work have them and I think it is a sensible alternative to a 5 series if you want a little more luxury than sport. This, however, leaves me with a bad taste. I fear Mercedes is taking the sharp edge thing too far. The new GLK along with this new E is making MB look bad. It's a shame because I find the S with Sport Package to be one of the best looking cars on the road.
