If you want to play that game, have a look at the 2006 Mitsubishi outlander... it has the same eyebrows that you speak of...

Maybe Mercedes Copied them!? Gasp!

Ugh... I'd much rather have an E46 with the N54.

BMW M's have had side vents long before everyone else copied.

I think the discrete exhaust of the current car looks better than the new one.

The exhausts are identical as the current model.
Current pre-facelift 335i with prominent dual exhausts.

Just like the current model, non-turbo models continue with a single left side exhaust...
2009

pre-facelift model

Carver · 07-12-2008, 03:58 PM

^^^ Okay, I guess it's the exhaust of the non-turbo cars I prefer.

Face looks better, unfortunately the same can't be said for the back as it was much better before they messed with it IMHO.

The headlights on the MCE are pretty much identical to the old ones, and in any event the E60 5-series featured "eyebrow" style headlights long before the new C-Class was around.

Wow! Looks a lot better than 08 model, can't wait to see what the coupe will look like!

I know, but I was refering to the trend where no new design or MCE seems to get by without side vents.
