Face it, every car now-a-days looks like every other car on the road.
to a certain extent, I agree! But I 'd say cars look alike between different models of the same company rather than looking alike between companies

Anyone know of a good Audi forum? I had one saved in my favorites folder but can't locate it. I think it was something like RS4.....

If I was forced to buy an '05 S4, I'd lose the front plate (NOT req. in AZ!) and paint the fugly bumper bar body color. YMMV

Marko - Polo. Well we can see that you need to resort to name calling when an opposing view is represented. If I am the "genius" does that make you the "baby genius".

So Audi is boring in exterior styling, ok. maybe, but so that makes 99% of MB's out there super boring, since they all look like hondas now.

Man, if you seriously think MB's look like hondas, you have some serious lack of design sense. The CLS is probably the only honda looking car from MB so far.

Bro, I am not the only one who says it. A lot of "newer" body style owners do say / realize that the E/C/S look a lot like hondas..

Idangelberry,

You're an idiot without a village. That's not name calling, simply an observation. You haven't said one valid or relevant thing since your arrival.

"super boring"? How old are you champ, 18? It shows. Bet your sweet as Pimp ride is riced to the max.

I think the new body design is alright...interior is pretty much the same, few upgrades/redesign.

I like my B6 design better IMO. But I'd like the new 2.0T engine they're planning to put into the A4 200HP and 210Tq (not too sure on the tq, more than 200 i know).

I won't even respond to your insignificance. Your opinion is your opinion, mine is mine. Fortunately I am in the majority when it comes to the new MB styling. Since my arrival. HAHA. Nice job on the name game by the way..

How old am I? Nice. Old enough to be married, a business owner and to carry one of these, but you probably wouldn't know what this is..

The MB styling is what made me spend the extra $ over an S4. If making the Benz look like a Honda could enable them to sell more cars I'm sure you'd see Accord cues all over the star. I personally don't see the resemblance at all.

IMHO, the new MB styling is the reason I have kept my 208. It sits now, I drive the S4 on a daily basis, 6spd=fun, and drive the CLK on the weekends. The wife was actually driving it more than I, until we picked up her Cayenne..

Personally, I just don't care for the new styling of the MB. In the 209, the only thing I like is the piller-less window design. That is it.

You have to admit, as I am sure many have said previous, when you glance at the rear, it looks a lot like an accord rear... :-(

You won't even respond, yet you cannot help yourself from responding can you, idangleberry?

You may be in the majority within your sophmore class at Sally Struthers U, but know this-you are 100% within the minority here, genius.

An alleged business owner uses the phrase "Super
Boring"? How sad. Which dry cleaners does your
Dad own, by the way?

Oh, did I strike a nerve.. boo-hoo. Sally Struther U? Don't be so angry at your mom for opening her own TV Land University. I heard you are all doing very well with it..

Listen, just because this is your first mercedes, and you are generally used to owning something more along the lines of hyundai, doesn't mean you have to be so angry when someone disagrees with you..

Relax, have a glass of wine and a fine cigar, and you'll be fine... It's ok, really you'll be alright..

Ah, idangleberry. A sharp tongue is no indication of a keen mind. Best of luck on the Dry Cleaners/Nail salon, and that dope Accord with the oversized exhaust-very original, I might add.

All that you are you owe to your parents, the 'business owners'. Why don't you send them a penny and square the account?

Hark! I doth heareth the sound of a boy who
brought a knife to a gunfight. Say hello to Thai
Pad Prik for me, will ya?

Boy, I guess if being norn in 65 still makes me a "boy" then yes, at heart I am a boy. Don't be jealous because I have more than you.

Nail Salon, I wish. I could get a happy ending every day for free. Curiousity beckons me to ask what it is that you do for a living, besides reside at your parents and mooch off of them, that makes you such a wise and all knowing, worldly, intelligent and uterly fascinating individual.

Unlike you my pauper friend, I came from nothing, worked for what I have, never owned the asian-ricerocket street racer that you did. Instead I worked hard, opened a few businesses and purchased my first MB in 1990...

So, lets see if my parents gave me everything, like apparently yours do for you, I too would be sour and angry when someone made fun of what daddy gave me. There was a quote I read on here once prior, goes something like "if your parents paid for it, it ain't yours", you may want to consider that when rolling your G-Unit, pimped out honda out of your driveway. (At least my kids think it's cool)

Yes, My parents purchased my 02' CLK 55, 03 911(996) Targa, 04' Audi S4, and my wifes 04' Cayenne S. So yes, you are right.. Oh daddy, daddy, can I have another... Loser...

I guess you're right, I owe my parents or my inlaws, since they are nice enough to let us stay there, while we finish our next home, seeing as we sold our current a lot faster than we had anticipated. Man I love this real estate market.

So yes, I am a boy who is building this..

idangleberry,

It took you two posts to respond? Perhaps your whole purpose in life
is to serve as a warning to others. Yellow man speak with forketh tongue,
I fear, as I believe you come from a long line of real estate people-they're a vacant lot.

Very nice picture of a house in progress-was that from a Google search by chance?. You've probably been accepted into a very exclusive club because they needed someone to snub.
