This is so funny.

When the 2nd Gen GS came out in late 1997 as a 1998 model, it had styling cues taken from the previous generation E class - mainly the headlights.

Now MB is taking styling cues from the 3rd Gen GS?

IMO, The E and GS are by far the best looking cars in class. I hope they continue to take a cue from each other here and there

Man, great minds do indeed think alike! This was the FIRST thought in my head before even opening this thread.

You're wrong
GS headlights styling cues were taken from the SC300/400 that came out WAY before the previous generation E class

I see a lot of similarities such as the quad-beam headlamps. However, these are not all that new. But thanks for sharing .

But the E is not for me. That styling is sooo gonna get old fast I think.
