Can you tell the types of Mercedes Benz above?
The New E-Class Saloon
The E-Class sets standards, not only in design, but especially in comfort and safety – for example with the optional active multicontour seats with massage function or with the standard-fit ATTENTION ASSIST. Based on an automatically generated driver profile ATTENTION ASSIST can recognise the first signs of drowsiness and warn the driver visually and audibly that it is time for a break.

New Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 on YouTube
There was a time when the sedate, broad shouldered shape of a Mercedes-Benz sedan was synonymous with quality, durability and superior engineering. Nowadays, customers are more likely to associate reliability with the shape of a Toyota Camry, while Mercedes has pursued ever sleeker and more swooping body forms. Until now. As the brand finally emerges from its build-quality funk (it was the only European automaker to win quality awards from J.D. Power & Associates in 2008), it clearly intends to help customers recall its tank-like sedans of yore. Meet the 2010 Mercedes E-class.
As expected, the new, "W212" E-class, being previewed to journalists in Detroit ahead of its spring unveiling in Geneva, looks similar to the ConceptFascination design study that debuted in Paris last fall. But that unlike that wagon-cum-coupe or any other Mercedes car of late, the new E-class makes no bones about being a classic, conservative sedan. To that end, it wears husky, squared-off sheet metal, an upright roof, and creased "pontoon" fenders similar to those on the new GLK crossover ("a new Mercedes schtick," offers design editor Robert Cumberford). The new car also goes to greater lengths to accentuate its distinctive Mercedes styling elements, particularly its broad chrome grill and dual headlights. Ironically, these details have been so widely imitated by other automakers - we're talking to you, Lexus and Hyundai - that even on a real Mercedes they come off a bit generic. It's more in the overall profile that the E-class comes off as genuinely German in a way no other brand can quite capture.
The hip-to-be-square trend continues inside. Gone are the current model's attempts at being avant-garde and organic, replaced by a severe dash that looks as if it were drawn with a t-square. Of course, it's far from retro, as it receives a host of technology from the S- and CL-class, including the column-mounted Direct Select shifter, and a now standard Comand controller. The new car also gets plenty of advanced safety features, including headlamps that automatically dim when they might blind another driver and Mercedes' new lane-departure warning and driver-monitoring systems.
Under the skin the updates are fewer and subtler. The 2010 E-class will launch on American shores this summer in familiar E350 and E550 variants. Both the 268-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and the 382-hp 5.5-liter V-8 appear to be unchanged. The standard suspension gets adaptive dampers, while an enhanced Airmatic system is now an option. The other flavors, including 4MATIC and the tasty E63 AMG arrive shortly thereafter. The 3.0-liter BlueTec diesel will make it here in early 2010.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Next Generation
Stuttgart, Germany – The last time the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was completely updated, it's habitat was a very different place.
Traditional rivals such as the BMW 5 Series are now less threatening and vehicles such as the Lexus GS series and Jaguar XF line have adopted aggressive tactics and are now much more dangerous to the E-Class.
The global credit crunch that begun in earnest in mid-2008 is affecting spending habits, particularly larger and more expensive purchases such as cars, so in this respect the new E-Class is unlikely to surpass its predecessors sales figures.
What you see here are the first official photos of the new generation 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which will be officially launched at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March.
These images have only just been leaked, not a lot of information is known about the new models.
Originally planned for an early January launch, we're all quite happy about the leak because we'll be on holidays over January, and the early consensus on the new look is moderately positive.
The rear end design has upset a few people in the Web Wombat offices, being called "Russian" by one contributor which could be an insult or a compliment.
The brake lights look somewhat out of place on the new 2010 E-Class, but as only three images were leaked it could be a case poor camera angle or colour/lighting choice.
At the front of the car, the overall shape is recognisable: the grille and the engine hood are traditional Merc.
But it's the new headlights that give the car difference.
Blending the previous E-Class's "double bubble" headlights with the Lexus GS series' twin clusters, the look is appealing.
Another new feature at the front of the 2010 E-Class are new LED fog lights.
As with all new models, the 2010 E-Class will be longer and wider than its predecessor and will feature a raft of new technologies.
The car's safety will be so advanced that the car will half drive itself, but this raises the ethical question of taking control away from the driver.
For instance the car will able to brake on its own if it detects the driver failing to do so in the event of a collision.
Engine technology isn't expected to improve greatly. The usual V6 and V8 petrol engines will be offered along with BluTec diesel models (though they may not come to Australia because of our low-grade diesel).
The range-topping AMG E-Class model, most likely the E63, will be powered by a 6.2-litre V8 outputting up to 450 killowatts of power, which is about 600 horsepower.
