The Car of the Year prizes have been dominated by the Germans with many being awarded one of Autobild’s “Golden Steering Wheel” awards.

Mercedes E-Class shooting brake on its way
The shooting-brake variant of the new Mercedes E Class could be on its way, showing that the Fascination concept seen at the 2008 Paris show may not be a dud. The estate car body style is known as a “shooting brake” and is in the design of many new and differing models seen especially in the German brands of late.
The Mercedes E Class family will expand to include the shooting brake, in addition to the sedan, coupé and convertible. It should be on the market in 2011 and follows other similar styles such as the BMW X6, the Mercedes CLS and the future Audi A5 Sportback.
The E Class shooting brake is set to be a mix of coupé style with three doors and sports style, and the versatility of a station wagon with a roomy boot. The Paris concept was originally meant to be a look at the E-Class Coupé but here we could see a standalone model.

Mercedes E Class Coupè video and gallery
Here are more official pics of the Mercedes E Class Coupé and an accompanying video as part of a press release, with a reminder of the plethora of electronic options that come with the vehicle. The video shows the elegant car on a drive around a coastal hilly landscape, with some static shots including the interior.
Mercedes E Class coupe commercial
Not exactly the height of excellence in marketing communications, here is the new Mercedes E Class coupè commercial. Lots of horses, lots of lovely girls, and a brief look at the new car. See what you think.
Mercedes E-class cabriolet spy shots
In this spy shot of the Mercedes E-Class cabriolet, we get another close look at the classic soft top of the Mercedes. The E-Class coupé has already been revealed, and here we see the cabriolet version with virtually no camouflage whatsoever.
The soft fabric roof is set to keep weight down, compared to the initial possibility of a hard top convertible. The engine range should be the same as the coupé, including more recent units of the 1.8 litre turbo CGI at 204 hp, and the debut of the start&stop system on the 184hp version. The twin turbo 2.1 litre CDI diesel will also be available at 204 hp.
The model is set to debut at the Frankfurt show in autumn, with sales starting before the end of this year. Have a look at our live gallery of the E-class coupé in Geneva.

The Mercedes E-Class Coupé has stolen the limelight at the Geneva motor show, but in addition to its presence, the debut of two important European models also occurred. The E Class sedan and SLR Stirling Moss were both revealed, which you can see in our gallery below.
Mercedes E Class Coupé spy shots from testing
These spy shots of the Mercedes E Class Coupé come from testing in Italy, though we’ve already seen the official E Class pics released.
The model will presented at the upcoming Geneva show, although testing is still being concluded before the car hits the market in May. Thanks to “vmelle88″ for the shots.
Mercedes E Class Coupé official pics
After the initial leaked pics of the Mercedes E Class Coupé, here is a brief gallery of what is set to be the star of the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. This is the most aerodynamic car in the world, according to Mercedes figures, and here you can see it in lovely white.
The new sporty model includes the already noted 3.5 litre V6 CGI at 292hp and the 5.5 litre V8 at 388hp. In addition three new engines will be available: a 3.0L V6 at 231hp, a 2.1L, 204hp engine and the new 1.8L turbo with direct injection at 204hp. All have either CDI or CGI BlueEfficiency.
Mercedes E Class Coupé leaked pics
No official photos have been made available yet, but in their place we have these shots of the Mercedes E Class Coupé, set to be presented at the 2009 Geneva motor show. These shots (in low resolution) come before any press releases or official news before the show.
Apparently these photos come from press material and show the new Mercedes design. The engine range for this vehicle should be the 3.0 litre V6 common rail from the 350 CDI, the 3.5 litre V6 petrol with aspirated direct injection (from the 350 CGI), and the 5.5 litre V8 of the 500. Another news should be revealed from the Geneva show.
Official Mercedes-Benz E Class Coupe images leaked
Will Mercedes-Benz really drop the name CLK? This is what it seems, according to Autoblog.nl, which has revealed these pictures of the future C-Class based coupe, a car that is supposed to be named E-Class Coupe. Expected to be seen at the Geneva Motor Show, in March, the car will have plenty to reveal to Mercedes-Benz fans, but not its appearance, fully presented by these leaked images. Enjoy!
Mercedes E Class videos
The first official videos of the new Mercedes E Class have arrived, with the opportunity to get a three-dimensional look of the design. We may have had some doubts on the style of the new sedan, but these videos give us the impression that the car needs to be checked out in person to really appreciate it.
The E Class should prove to be an important step for Mercedes, taking its sedans to the top of the line for comfort, technology and image. The potential of the new on-board safety systems is currently without a rival on the market, and the elegance should certainly tip the scales in its favour, too.
The E Class videos show that the style is almost cubist in its look, with a classic Mercedes touch. After the jump you will find a range of videos of the new sedan, in production, on the road and generally showing off.
Mercedes Classe E Coupé video
Mercedes has let slip out a couple of official shots of its E Class sedan, and now we pass from spy shots to a spy video of the E Class coupé. Here we get a good look at the first impressions of the Mercedes sports effort.
In this test run, alongside the CLK, the car is put through its paces in the cold. We can see some change in design, moving towards a more sports style, with less of the cruisy sedan look. There are some similarities with the official E Class sedan shots that were leaked, especially in the lights. See for yourselves.
