While the spy pictures that hit the web last year implied that the all-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class would look much like an enlarged C-Class on the outside, no one was expecting the resemblance to be this close.
While the new E is not expected to be revealed before the Detroit Motor Show next week, these official exterior pictures have leaked onto the net courtesy of German website auto-presse.de .
The E's cabin was already revealed online in early December and here we see something more akin to a downsized S-Class, complete with a glut of new gadgets and features, including high-res display screens that appear to hover.
The new car is also expected to feature some innovative new semi-autonomous-driving technology.
Watch this space for all the official facts and figures when Mercedes 'officially' pulls the covers off next Monday, 11 January.
