Wow, atleast I'm not the only one. Saw one of these come up behind me at a stoplight and I thought Jaguar with a tricked out grill or something (ghetto looking). Now its confirmed to be a Korean car.

It is amazing how some companies piggy back on other designs. Lexus did this in the begining with it's 'flagship' also.
This car is actually pretty good looking and if the E class looked any different I would really like it. Because of that resemblence it looks now more like a mutated w210/w211 E class with Down syndrome.
Read the description of the car on their site. Marketing hype to the max

"The Amanti is no cookie-cutter car. This is a sedan that makes a bold statement-- from its classically inspired grille to its limousine-like roofline."

No problem, do you guys wanna see something even worse?! This machine looks like Benz but there aren't Benz here. It is called Jap-China 300 and is cloned by China. I think they can almost copy everything in every aspect from Benz. Except the passion and quality from Germany.
