Here's something I noticed the other day when reading about the Frankfurt Motor Show. The latest Mercedes-Benz show-stopper at the world's biggest motor show is somewhat familiar looking from behind - or is it just me? What's more, the Mercedes-Benz Vision CLS - a 4 door coupe type design - is apparently destined for production.



Mercedes' Frankfurt stand has its own web site if anyone is interested.

At least that thing will (most probably) do better than the AU. Plus it's a Merc.

Ford Oz were right when they said the AU design was/is way ahead of it's time for the conservative Australian public. Me thinks two generations of Falcons from the BA on will see the AU shape make a comeback and everyone would see the "lights" by then.

that really is spookily similar!

With the Merc quad light front end, that Merc will end up looking a lot like the Arrow Coupe!
