I'm laughing, but I'm also not a big fan of the w204.

Sorry guys, just don't like the design w/o an aftermarket body kit (That's even after being at C Drive for 3+ hours learning as much as possible about it).

That's just my preference.

SL550, E550 4-Matic, X5, and others...
As much as I hate to admit it, there is a striking resemblance.

It is very funny since I actually saw a siliver one last week and I really thought it was the new C class until it got next to my car.

Btw, I am still buying W204.

Let me go to bat for my currently in parts waiting to be assembled W204...

The Sebring has Scalloped headlights...lines down the hood, car door bumpers, and is just plain overstyled. It also has one of the unkempt profiles on a car today. the far back windows are not windows...they are black plastic. Only to make the illusion of an Audi profile...This car's interior is completely different as well.

It has a hideous placeholder for a license plate on the front bumper and just bad fit and finish. Please compare to this photo

I respect that you're going to bat for your car. Rightfully so. I'm still not a fan, but that's just coming from a diehard w203 owner.

I will say that it's nice enough that I would consider selling my car to get a C63, but only a C63.

The Sebring doesn't look "that" much alike, but there are some similar stylings. I think the rear end of the sebring looks more like a Passat or a Jetta though.

Chrysler stealing Mercedes design?

What does the company Daimler-Chrysler mean to you?

But it was when the w204 was being designed. Design started in 2001 (according to C Drive event).

Funny for some, but it's unoriginal/copied/plagiarized, etc. A similar post can be found at e46fanatics (dated 07/04/07) as well as MBWorld.




So, without further ado,

it's all in the details (not even) - the W204 does not look like a Sebring!

In fact the new Sebring isn't half bad for a rental car.
