| Re: BMW/Mercedes/Audi Design philosophies We have dicussed this clam shell bootlid for some time now and we are back doing it again. Well Roberto is right here, remember Rob, I found a Mercedes from the 50s with that clam bootlid. Even better than that a Ford from the 1930s No, BMW is some 50-70 yeas late in the clamshell bootlid design.

| Re: BMW/Mercedes/Audi Design philosophies but bmw had the guts to start the trend again, many new cars are influenced by the "bangle" butt. If it wasnt for the 7er I dont think the new S-class would use the "butt" today.

The Maybach followed its concept and the S-class folloed the Maybach. Easy as that. I can't see why people put the 7er as an insperation for the S-class!
