Default Copycats!

Is it me or does the new c63 amg black series coupe have a strange resemblance to the IS-F. Look at the side profile!:

Link

Edit: Even the back and other angles look like a complete ripoff of the F!

Edit: NOT COMPLETE RIPOFF, BUT BARES SOME OF THE SAME QUALITIES. MAYBE "RESEMBLANCE" WAS THE WRONG WORD IN THIS SITUATION.

Even though the new C63 AMG has the side vents, I don't really see a resemblance to the ISF. A lot of the newer sportier cars seem to be coming with the side vents. Looks good nonetheless on most cars.

Actually I don't see a resemblence. If anything it's a mix of a C63 sedan and a CTS coupe. I like it not the less, especially the interior.

If an IS-F and an M3 mated this would be the outcome. I see some resemblence of an F and M3. Not a that much of a look alike though... Still a very nice car!

the rear quarter especially rear side window and c-pillar look like the new accord coupe.

WOW you guys see no resemblance at all...COME ON!!

Well then, the only thing in common is that they both have nice agressive styling cues.

And, yeah the red does look great on the c63.

Look at the stance especially from the back. Does it remind you of anything? Go through each and every photo in that car and driver slideshow especially of the red and let me know. If you still don't see it then IDK, maybe I'm just hallucinating HAHA!

I wasn't trying to bash the car if thats why you all don't agree with me, I was just trying to get your attention with the title. The car has its own new styling but it definitley borrows from a few brands as some have mentioned. This is not to say, Lexus didn't with the Ferrari California-esque exhaust tips.

Sorry if I wasted your time.

OVER AND OUT!
