Facelift styling debate: hip crease and wide-mouth bumper

Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (W212) · cosmetic

Styling is genuinely divisive between the pre- and post-facelift cars. Fans of the 2012-2013 cars, echoed by Doug DeMuro's often-quoted take, prefer the subtler look and the hip crease over the rear wheels that the facelift ditched, and dislike the 2014 wide-mouth front bumper; others prefer the newer, more aggressive facelift face.
