I won't buy an ugly or bland car no matter how safe, fast, etc. etc. it is. There is no time for boring/bland/ugly cars no matter how well done they are in other areas. That said there are always exceptions to that rule, but those excepts are about as rare as hen's teeth.

Mercedes was the one who started the 4 headlight theme on modern car design. If i can remember correctly, the 4 eyes look 1st appear on the CLK concept back in 1993. Lexus has obviousely copied it since. Idiots and lexus fanboys will accuse Mercedes of copying Lexus when the new E-class is launched, but the new E will look like the way it is because of years of design evolution, not because Mercedes has suddeny decided to copy Lexus.
According to spy photos, the new E will look nothing like the silver photoshop. | | | | | The Photo Phanatic

So this is what I have to say to the Lexus fanboys: PWNED.  | | | | |
