Yikes... walked up to the wrong car today.. a Camry!!!
Walking out of the grocery store today I almost tried to get into a Camry by mistake. I guess I never realized how much the E-Class and Camry look alike... from the side and rear especially. And the Camry comes in a color very close to the Platinum Blue on my E320. I used to think my grandfather was just being a curmudgeon when he said all cars look alike these days... LOL

At least the Camry wasn't designed to pass for a Mercedes ... it just turned out that way. Now, the Kia Amati ... that's a Mercedes ripoff if ever there was one ...

Hey, Jef, keep that up and you'll be ejected! 
They say imitation is the best form of flattery, never more true than in these situations. I almost bought a Camry a while back, but once they changed the body style in '02 it was too uglified for my tastes.
Take care and enjoy the ride

kia sportage ~ benz ml
I was heading home on my bicycle yesterday and I thought I saw a 2006 ML parked on the side of the street but the color, metallic light blue, was not a Benz color. I did a second take and it was a Kia! I do like the color on the Kia. Wish my car came in that color, or pearl-white.
