I thought it was a Merc 'til I re-read the thread title. Then I thought the OP was lying or confused and wrote Cadillac where he meant to write Mercedes... What a clone! I do adore a black C-class, though.

Merc, 2 doors, horizontal tail/head lights, slim c pillar, bubbly lines, and awkward rear side windows

Cadillac, 4 doors, vertical tail/head lights, fat c pillar, flat lines, and normal windows.

Totally see the resemblance.

In other news, my s2000 completely resembles a kia soul because it has 4 wheels.

(But you forgot, some are black.)

We already know it will be too heavy and too big.

Seriously, are all of GM's designers morbidly obese? I mean just look at the Camaro...what an awesome car that would be if it was one order of magnitude smaller

I didn't know the official specs for the ATS were out. Please quote source for our benefit.

The Camaro is as big as it is because that was the only platform that GM had at the time that could be used from a cost/development perspective. Ideal? Nope. I guess they could have waited, but they wanted to get the car to market. If the next Camaro is on the same platform, or something similar to what is being used for the ATS, that should scale it to what, IMHO, is a more appropriate size. We'll have to see what they choose to do.

Then it would be 19 inches long and weigh less than 40 lbs.

Still wouldn't ever mistake it

I completely see the resemblance and thought the same thing before others posted it. For me the hood and the large gap between the hood and fender really makes me think of the current Benzs. That's not a good thing. I do like that the MB does a better job of hiding the height between the shoulder line and the wheel well.
