Well, possibly. Motorauthority has shopped up some renderings showing how the next E-Class, due out in 2009, might just look. Plenty of styling cues have been taken from the recently refreshed entry-level C-Class saloon, while the overall vibe is crisper and more dynamic than the rather bland jelly-mould aesthetic of the current E-Class…

With the all new E still a few years out (due late 2008 by most estimates), MB has released a buffed ‘n polished development of the existing W211 model. Headline news includes six new or significantly revamped engines and more electronic jiggery pokery than you can shake a satnav screen at…

In an age of crossover vehicles, cab-forward architectures and out-of-the-box thinking, the traditional estate seems like a rather frumpy concept. But as the original Audi RS4 Audi proved, if it’s the ultimate combination of practicality and performance you fancy, a souped-up wagon is very tough to beat. So, we’re pleased to see that all three of Germany’s heavy metal car makers are preparing hardcore performance versions of their full-sized estate models.

Mercedes-Benz doesn’t build ‘em like it used to. On that most car enthusiasts can agree. So, it’s not altogether surprising to hear that sales of the underwhelming E Class have fallen by nearly 30 per cent in 2005. But is it poor quality or dreary design that’s to blame?

Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) be gone. After a biblical plague of faults resulting in 100,000 cars recalled in the UK and fully two million worldwide, Mercedes-Benz is cancelling the SBC brake-by-wire system on the E-Class and CLS ranges.

Development prototypes of the next Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been caught roaming the wild. The new car clearly takes some design cues from the recently launched S-Class (and so in turn, from the Maybach uber-limo). But will it finally resurrect MB’s reputation for building the best-engineered cars in the world?

After the petrol power wars comes the diesel, er, deathmatch. Audi has seen Merc’s four-litre 314bhp Derv V8 and raised it a 322bhp 4.2-litre oil-burning lump. Which is just as well: we simply don’t get out of bed for less than 300bhp these days.

MB’s latest diesel V8 produces 314bhp at 3,600rpm. And that from just 4 litres.
