The Mercedes with Ford style?

Seeing this photo on Autoblog reminded me…

When I first saw the Mercedes CLS at the San Francisco Motorshow I couldn’t believe someone would copy the rear end of a Ford Falcon AU. That was one of the worst aspects of a generally dismal design!

Although Mercedes added a little more refinement it’s still horrible!

“The CLS is just a saloon with a lower roof-line and ugly curved back and that looks like it was lifted of an AU Falcon. It didn't work for Ford and it doesn't work on a Merc – RobiNZ CAD Blog”
