Timeless design?

[Sp!ke]

Maffs picture in the logo thread really caught my eye.

Look at the picture below of the side of Maffs 2004 SL350.

Then compare it to the side of a 1954 Gullwing 300SL below and try and convince me that Mercedes don't design timeless machines.

They also used the fins on the 129 series "Silver Arrows" cars. A mod that i really wanna do on my car. But not sure if they would look good?

This is what I like about MB's

It's a design que from the past to strengthen product identity. Well, that's what the marketing folks say - Us ordinary people just think it looks great.

BMW are less subtle - ie the Z8 uh sorry 507.
