Is is just me, or does the 2008 C-Class have a striking resemblance to the Sebring?

...especially the front end.

Hmmm... very much so :-?

Edit:

I dunno, some of the lines don't match up between bodies like the doors, hood, ect...

The A-pillar matches with the car just some slight alteration.

IMO Mercedes blows; Chrysler was profitable before the merger, now they're planning to ditch Chrysler to the vultures. :banghead:

Yeah, Chrysler was doing just so awesome before the merger, Mercedes must be bringing them down :tardbang:

I think for the sake of some different sheet metal I can see them using the same unibody.

I had a Ford fusion rental for a week. That car really impressed me. Except for the gay ass tail lights that car is on the spot and well put together IMO.

:lol:

You know they have the same interior minus some little details here and there right? Also, from the C or R/T models to the SRT models all that changes really is the seats. Hell for that matter the Magnum is the same too.

:withstupid:

I've been in a 300c, drove it around for awhile... god is it nice

Probably the only luxury car i'd ever consider owning.... and it'd be rolling on 24's with a HUGE system, black with 5% tint all the way around, chrome trim, all black leather interior, 8 TV's, air bags.... and darkkk purple accents.

And yes, I'm dead serious.

I really considered looking at one of those before i got the volvo. I really like them, minus the ugly tails, but i wouldve found a solution for those. Plus they come w/ awd on the upgraded ones, its my favorite ford...and i dont much like fords :lol:

I was originally the same way, the 300C was the first car I wanted. Until I realized the only people around here that drive them all look like they could be my grandparents. :lol:

Plus, after seeing the 300C and Charger R/T side by side my decision was alot easier. I wanted something more aggressive rather then "classy."

Been in a Ford Fusion, wasn't impressed. It felt very cheap inside, and I didn't like the feel of the doors when they were closed, just didn't feel very solid.

I love the LX's though. I probably would have gotten a Charger if I hadn't found the Speed.
