New Mercedes-Benz E-Class brochure scans hit the web
Filed under: Spy Photos, Sedans/Saloons, Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz
 Click above for a gallery of leaked Mercedes-Benz E-Class scans Mercedes-Benz needs a successful E-Class sedan in its lineup to properly compete with the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. With the current W211 model soldiering on since since 2002 and getting long-in-the-tooth, the German automaker is expected to launch a new E-Class sedan at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. As is often the case, it's proving rather difficult to keep the floodgate of images and specifications held back, and we've assembled the images from a leaked European brochure for your perusal. From the looks of things, MB is trying to split the difference between the current E-Class and its CLS sibling that was first introduced in 2005 to spice up the lineup with something more stylish. There are plenty of current-gen C-Class cues on the new E's flanks, with headlights that look very much like the units that debuted on the ConceptFASCINATION from Paris. The interior will get an upgrade and will be offered in a few different variations between super luxurious and overtly sporty. Check it out yourself in the gallery below.

the armrest and the knob looks just like the BMW 7 series.
I'm also noticing it has no shift lever.

One of the pics shows the shifter. Looks like it is where the horizontal flat piece is - maybe it pops up like a cup holder does?

I thought that was the "knob" like the one the BMW has that you use to access all of the menus for controlling the HVAC system, radio, etc.
