Hi James,
I'll let you in on a little secret: German 'Style' is not about looks at all...
In fact, German Look is actually a 'contradictio in terminis'
Its perse not 'just another -look(er)'
Its the engineering that counts and how that looks eventually is somewhat secondary and really just a way to recognise what 'kind of car' it is (underneath).
Just my opinion of course and does not neccesarily concur with the opinion of the owners of this board LOL.
