I remember one of the Pommy car mags (Evo or Top Gear, not too sure) making a barbed comment about the CLS's rear end looking like the AU Falcon.

This sort of comparison has been made before, and thanks to Jack Travis aka Troutman's original thread, got FordForums into the newspaper about the Mercedes styling.

Here is the last thread on a Merc vs AU Falcon comparison.

The Age- AU Mercedes

Cheers... Tim

Just because it's a Merc doesn't mean the looks any more appealing to the average Aussie punter. I'd have to admit that quad pipes, fat wheels and AMG badges do lend it some street cred though, it's no AU forte poverty pack that's for sure.
