Well, I guess we should take it as a compliment. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 203 rear is being heavily copied though

The AC/Heater controls in the new Ford look like an E class.

Check out the Infiniti inspired clock!
And look how they put the hazard lights button on the dash console with a little red triangle like European cars instead of the typically American location of on or around the steering column.

The tailights themselves look like civic tailights to me.

The Crossfire is an SLK with a Chrysler designed body and is built in the Karmann factory where the CLK cabriolet is built.

No, they are calling it Ford Five Hundred SEL ....They easily could have went with 500, as in the old Ford Galaxy 500. My Grandfather owned one many many years ago. Was a very good car, as I recall.

Nah, looks like a Passat with quasi C sedan benz tailights. Don't really care for the overall looks of it.

I saw the Ford at the St. Louis auto show. It does not look like a C. It is much larger, also. I definitely doesn't look like a Passat.
