What about the German purity act of 1512?

That's what Asian car companies have been doing for decades and nobody seems upset.

For some reason when I look at it I just think of the Red Green Show, only with slightly less taste. Admittedly a paint job might help, but I don't think there's anything in the world that would compel me to drive that car.

looks as bad as putting 17" rims on a w123.

For centuries, men have tried to turn lead into gold.


Nope, not yet.

the real shame is that the 95 civic is not a bad looking car on its own. I personally find it more attractive than the MB body style parts hes grafted to it. This guy has managed to create a hybrid that is less than either of its two parts.

On Sunday during brunch with my lady friend, I remarked to her that the Toyota Camry, and one of the upscale Hyundai four doors, looked more like a Mercedes-Benz, than a real Mercedes-Benz.

She drives the last generation Toyota Camry - that looks a whole lot like the last E-Class sedans. I've got an interest in buying a 2008 E320 Bluetec to replace my '99 E300TD - but they sure look like the last Camry to me.

The Asians have got to be paying large dollars for design information to come out with Mercedes-looking cars BEFORE Mercedes even does! It kinda makes fun of anyone owning a Mercedes, but that's the way it goes. LOL!

That Hyundai Genesis looks identical to a Mercedes, it has all the typical Mercedes styling cues. I'm not sure how this could happen unless Hyundai was hiring the same designer that Mercedes uses. I think its a shame...

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. Anyone ever notice how much the old boxy sentra from the 80's looked like an E30?

Not at all. If it looks like anything german made, it looks like a VW fox. Its as close to an E30 as it is to a plymouth reliant. But then again, most cars from the 80s have similar boxy body lines reflecting the tastes of the decade. I think its a mistake to attribute too much styling credit to the germans.
