On the way back from a weekend trip, wife and i were discussing all the merits of the E53, looks being one of them. the boxyness and straight lines i believe to be one of the best parts about the way it looks. This is also the reason why I love the MB G-class, one day...we will own a G500, or an AMG G55. I would take an E53's looks over the newer ones right now.
