The E Class Influenced Bentley!?!?!?

I saw something very interesting in Car and Driver (December edition - Page 36). They were showing a soon to be introduced Bentley sedan and it looks VERY similar to the E-Class from a small picture of the front end. I think it is the headlights and grill that make me think this. It is clearly a different car but it is very interesting to see what I think is a slight influence.

It will be priced above the S but will be less than the Arnage so it should check in below $200K.

I know all of you want a picture but unfortunately I can't post it until next week because I don't have access to a scanner. Thus, if anyone else has this issue and wants to post a pic...
