Separated at Birth?

I always thought the moment 7th Gen Civic Coupes came out, that it looked awfully like a Mercedes. The tri-angular tail-lamps and the pillers are almost dead on. I have attached a profile view of a CL500 and my car as a comparison. Of course, being the bigger vehicle, the CL500 is longer. But other than that, the similarities of the two are uncanny.

Definitely a resemblance (sp?)...But I agree, only from the side.

My father has a CL; I think there is certainly somewhat of a similarity.
