It seems that Mercedes design language is copied a lot. I think even Lexus is influencing design, after everyone freaked out about the front grills. And before that Audi was copied. It seems that certain designs are considered weird or ugly, and then a few years later everyone is copying it. [emoji28] Same thing with Bangled BMW’s, designers are STILL copying what he did.
I was reading an old article, I think Car & Driver, introducing the MkIV Supra. They we’re making fun of how busy the rear end looked, pointing out the circles in the tail lights, and of course the wing. And how Toyota copied Ferrari on some of the other design elements. Now the Supra is considered one of the best looking cars of the 90’s, and I agree. It doesn’t have a million creases and vents and angles like modern cars.
