The new corrado!
hahah.. yes, some of you would like to think that mercedes created an entirely new design.. but I think the roots of the design stems from the corrado still. *Flame suit on*

So...
is time to remove your mercedes star and replace them with VW logos? But make sure you put a RWD on your new Corrado.

This topic has been mentioned before. As a former Corrado owner, I agree with the comparison. For me, it was a great car until a BMW rear ended me at a light; then, my car was nothing but a headache until I traded for another problem car-- Saab.

Ok, they have hatchbacks and two doors. The comparison begins to pale from there- The Corrado styling has more creases than a modern Cadillac, its FWD, has a blunt squared sedan nose, etc...
A picture of an old Supra(80s) looks more like the Cprrado than the MB does.

Bah, I love the Corrado! I still got a poster of it in my room that I got from the VW dealer when I was 6 back in 1990 when my dad bought a Passat! I also like Porsche 944. See a pattern? Long live lift-backs!

But, I agree that both are much different that a Civic Hatch or Golf...but cars like the RSX and Celica also 'mock' the coupe profile, when they are both hatches.
I just don't see how the topic is relevant.

Mercedes is a far more surperior car company than VW. They had no reason to copy anything from VW's corrado. Of course some cars can resemble others.

Corrado was tight!! especially the G60 model...
btw, don't you guys forget about the market failiure e36 compact that has much more to do with the creation of the C-coupe.

The Corrado was a fun car. I owned both the G60 and the VR6 versions. Did not get to enjoy the VR6 as much as the G60 since I only had the VR6 for three months before it was stolen.
