My fault? MB's fault?

there was a MB stopped right behind me @ traffic light. i looked at my rear view mirror for a good 20 sec or so and couldn't figure out it's a C or S class. should MB make C and S more distinguishable, or have i gotten so stinky old that i can't tell the difference between C and S? [:0] [:0]

There are subtle differences in the headlight shapes and the grilles but you are right It is becoming difficult to tell the difference from the front. But, it is easier to tell the difference from the back.[:D]
