On my way into to work this morning, minding my own business, well not been that awake to be honest, came round a corner and in the opposite direction (on the other side before someone mentions it) was a white facelift octy estate on a 58 plate, it was a taxi. Must admit I really liked the look, impressive

i passed one the other day and though it was a merc from a distance! looks a lot better in the flesh than in the showroom

Perhaps the headlights would remind it, but honestly I like our headlights design more. I find it more neat and powerful, the new one seems "too" refined, like all the shiny (and boring while driving) yet plastic bits inside.

yup, its the headlights that resemble it most plus it was an estate which is similare at the back to the c class.

agree about the shiny plastic. Ive kept mine black up the centre of the car when I put my MFD2 in as I think it looks better with no silver up the centre

Saw my first facelited hatch from a few cars back recently.

I thought it was a vectra at first! The lights now look that similar.
