Default D3 & S class

This parked behind me last night, I was taken by the very similar shapes and styling touches. Have never owned a S class but always fancied one, maybe the S65.

Thats the problem with all these post-90s model - you cant tell a Volvo from Merc from a D3. Whereas the D2 .... [drones on for 94 minutes]. To be honest, what do you expect when, as shown this week, the car manufacturers collude on design improvements in order not to start an arms race and wind tunnel testing will show the optimal shape for economy anyway. So, no matter what badge you put on it, they will all look the same.

Only 94 minutes David? I'm very disappointed with you....
