When I first saw the new E46 on the initial test drive of the 328 during the summer of 98, I thought I was looking at a boosted Honda Civic coupe with 2 more doors. Then one day I went out with my girlfriend and following a silver 323 on the weekend back up traffic waiting to go through the bridge. She says " Honda seems revise the tailights of the 99 Civic coupe" when we close to it, she says "damn, maybe Honda designers went to Munich to work for BMW for living, its ashame those Bimmer owners made others feel like a Civic owners". One more example. I went to my cousin's house to have dinner yesterday and talked about how great my A4 and Jetta are and presuading them to trade the Civic in for an A4, even when its a base car. She asked me if i have seen the new 3-series, I says "absoultely". She says "it looks so much like a Honda".<br>Maybe BMW will recruit designers from Korea who designed the Laganza on the next E56.<br>You are not alone, anyway<br>Tom<br>97 A4 1.8TQMS<br>99 JETTA IV GLS 2.0
