^That what you saw, Dave?

Thats a spy photo with the camo computer removed.

I dont remember seeing the rakish front, although in profile, the car is the same. The same swoopy design toward the front, the same high shoulders. The overall design of that car is what I saw.

"The nose has dropped in the front, giving the car a hunkered down look. The sides are swoopy, and the back is well rounded off, indicating a certain design semblance with Mercedes? own CLS sedan. "

Thats how I described it in my article.

The rear end looks terrible, I hope they got that part of it wrong.

I agree... I definitely see strong hints of BMW in the headlights and door panels.

Well, we cant know for sure if they are copying BMW, as this is a computer rendered image, but they definitely stole a page out of BMW's book with the new S Class interior.

While this car, and it isn't official, may take certain Bimmer elements, the S is a blatant copy. That's not right IMO.

I certainly agree with you in that respect.

The front looks trim and sporty, the ass however is fat with much cottage cheese.
