Hyandai and benz styling sounds a little funky to me. I hope we dont see a huge change in the lines on the new benzs.

I showed my mom Dunnojack's photochop and this is what she said, "Wow! Looks nice."
Then I proceeded to tell her it was a fake badge and it was really the Genesis and she said, "Wow! Looks nice! Even better [since it's a Hyundai]"

And when I thought it couldn't get any worse...
Benz has made some strange decisions in the past 10 years it seems like.

I predict we will soon read an article in "The Onion" about a Mercedes and Hyundai merger. Crazier things have happened right?

interesting thing is, when the hyundai designer was at hyundai, he made the cars look like mercs.
now that he's with mercedes, he's doing the opposite. If that's not sabotage, i dunno what its called.

Put it this way. Who else has studied MB design more closely so that he can see what works - and then rip it off? Sounds like a perfect choice.
