Ha! Funny you should say that... one drove past me in the city the other day and I marvelled how similar a lot of it was to the AU. Scary, really.

Indeed it does!!

I've seen a few of those Mercs around, and they do look VERY AU like, just sleeker.

Looks like Fords ex designer is still pushing the design but he refined it. That’s why I got an AU Monty Ghia I think they look euro horn truly ahead of its time.

I saw the merc a few months ago decked out in cream leather trim and a very liquid-silver paint job...

I think I made a boo boo in my pants when I saw it. A very beautiful car
