Forget About MB vs LEXUS/BMW Debates...

Stop wasting time on your MB vs Lex and Beemers debates and concentrate on the new competition:

The new KIA Amanti

(Well at least according to their according to their commercials )

Has anyone seen the commercial? At first, it showed the headlights, which looks very similar to an w210 E-Class from the angle they shot it at.

Kinda looks like they took a lil of something from all the luxury car makers :p

Haha, the front really mimics a jag in my opinion with the big open grill and dual round lights, i thought Kia was one of Mercs "strategic partners" but their not so i think they just decided to look in the old parts bins of the lux car companies.

Doesn't Kia and Hyundai make cars because it's cheaper to do it that way rather then recycle the metal?

This is just absurd. I hate this company. B@stardization of a model that Amanti is. Copyright infringement.

I might just get that and whack some Mercedes Benz badges on it, complete with E500 badges and Brabus stickers.

Just saw that thing at the auto show today...made me want to vomit. It even has Lincoln Town Car side windows. My friend said, "don't even look at it, it's bad for you!"
