According to Autobild they have received exclusive pictures of the new E-Class without any of the camouflage. Unfortunately Autobild does not have the best reputation so whether or not this is true is something that has not yet been determined. However, many enthusiasts agree that the pictures do look similar to those we have already viewed.

The new front fascia is an interesting amalgamation of the C- and S-class’ front ends, with an upright grille framed by two-piece headlamps, a sculpted front bumper and LED indicators. The sides of the new E incorporate a C-class-inspired swage line, while the rear taillights wrap half-way around the fenders.

The 2010 Mercedes E-Class was caught by some of the best spy photographers. The car was disguised with camouflage - but there was not mistaking the line and edges that could be seen none the less.

Although, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see either the headlights or taillights of the model, as both still remain heavily masked. Nevertheless, I think I speak for the majority of E-Class owners when I say the development of the new sedan seems to be coming along splendidly.

Mercedes stated this week that they would be releasing a new brand of E-class that will be released in September of 2008. Mercedes is creating the E-class to be more for the younger consumers – which means we can expect to see a more unique body style and design that will be different from all of the other models.

Mercedes told us that it will have a tauter, edgier appearance inspired by the new C-class, including a clamshell-style bonnet, prominent swage lines along the flanks and a high boot line. Lightweight construction techniques will be used to help ensure the new E-class does not gain much weight. Mercedes will use a full steel structure with greater use of tailored blanks to keep the kilograms in check.
