One of these cars is two years old and has a base price of £19,365 in the UK (it is not sold in the US), while the other is brand-spankety new and starts at £88,325 in that same UK market (it arrives stateside this fall). Which is which? And, since this is an easy one for the crazy car-identification ninjas that prowl this site, is this much family resemblance good or bad for Mercedes?

I think that is a pretty bad example for family resemblence. Especially when you see them in the flesh! Try Audi next time. Last time around at a car show I couldn't decide whether I got an A4 Avant or A6 Avant in front of me for about 10 seconds. Same goes for Q5 and Q7. And I would highly consider myself a car-nut.
Slow news day? Does Perez Hilton now contribute to TTAC? These two vehicles look completely different. Stop underestimating the intelligence of your readership before TTAC becomes the automotive equivalent of News Of The World.
2004 -- 2006 used CL 600's are an amazing deal. Nice low-mileage ones for $20k - $30k. MSRP was $130,000+ It's a $30k car to buy, but still a $130k car to maintain and repair. Hard to get more "bang-for-the-buck" used car today. Twotone
They both remind me of when Mercedes snidely referred to Audi's "transient, soap-cake styling".
