There are a lot of car enthusiasts that will tell you that modern cars have lost there individuality and character. That they all look the same. While that may be true in many ways, they certainly aren't referring to the Mercedes-Benz CLS or the Audi A7. These two cars feature a modern look that bridges the gap between coupe and sedan, perfectly capturing the essence of each brand.
Boy, these cars sure are different than most. However, if you are the car enthusiast from before and you are using the A7 and the CLS as examples to show how cars have become the same, we might say you have a valid point. Not only do they look the same, but they exist solely to compete with one another. Sure, other brands have copied this design, but never as successfully as Mercedes-benz and Audi.
