Design Inspiration?
Perhaps I have finally gone off the edge, but to me the E400 wagon reminds me a lot of a Chris Craft Barrel back from the 30's thru the 50's.

Sorry, I don’t see the resemblance

Mercedes Benz e450 Wagon / Porsche 911 Cabriolet
Naturally they don't look the same, but the influences and lines are similar. Flowing curves, stout haunches, sleek length. Loves the boat! Elegance of a day gone by.
