A follow up to - "The BMW disaster"

in a follow-up to my thread from last week - "2009 BMW disaster", i feel that we spent too much time on BMW, and forgot all about Mercedes. Lets give MB some attention... they deserve it...

Now, what in the world is this ???????????????

Those two cars don't even play the same sport. MB probably drives itself, and will let you know when your out of milk.

I think it looks more like an old Honda Accord rear end. Manufacturers need to cut it out with these massive rear tail lights.

It is better than when they were making the tails not match up as they transition to the trunk

Only one I could think of off hand, since I stare at it every day

the bigger WTF with MB is that the front of the new C class looks like an acura. What the hell happened to the classic MB round headlights?
