New windscreen wipers - Have MB ditched the Panoramic single

[steveperry]

I was in traffic today and saw a new C-Class (W203) coming in the opposite direction. I noticed it had a conventional 2 blade wiper system. Have MB abandoned their panoramic single blade wiper system as fitted on 190's (W201), older E class (W124 & W210), and older C's (W202) ?

Has the latest E-Class gone the same way does anyone know?

Shame, as I quite liked the design.

New windscreen wipers

Ive noticed the same actually. Also a lot of car manufacturers are having the wipers sweep the other way, as they do abroad. Probably a cost saving measure
