The new Merc C Class is the spitting image of FL Octy vRS, even down to the DRL's

The badge snobs won't be happy that their Merc could get confused with a lowly Skoda!

pretty good site, daily updates and car news etc

Most cars are pretty damned bland and copy each others 'must have' latest quirkiness's now, let's be honest.

Don't however particulary see that much of a resembalance between the two in this instance though tbqh.

+1

apart from shape on headlamps and DRL's cant see huge similarity over and above usual shape for that type of car...

I can see a *bit* of similarity at the front, with the headlight design and the placement of the DRLs, but I'd hardly call them twins...

the headlights are similar but the two cars really don't look alike, which can only be a good thing for the Merc

ermmm.... looks like a pretty tame evolution of present C class, can't really see great similarity, nice looking car anyway

Octy vRS :

New C Class :

well, they're both black and have a wheel in each corner...separated at birth

Can you imagine if the Skoda symbol was that large in the centre of the grille?! Haha, good potential mod for someone that
