Re: Design trademarks of BMW, Audi, MB, Porsche, VW etc

BMW:
- Kidney grill
- Hofmeiter Kink
- quad headlights
- Short front overhang
I don't see the L-shaped rear lghts as a Design trademark anymore becaus they're coming and going all the time. 3er (sedan and touring), 5er (sedan and touring), 6er, 1er don't have have this element and these are some of the most important models in the line-up.

MB:
- The traditional grill for sedans
- the grill with the big star for all other vehicle sorts.
- the tree pointed star on the bonnit
- the ribbed rear lights
- the triangular rear lights (although MB ar leaving this driection gradually)
- the pointy front

Audi:
- The single frame
- The C-pillar window
- Over-designed headlights construction

Porsche:
- the whole car. Porsche hasn't been redesigned but facelifted over the years!

Opel:
- pointy front (new element)

Maybach:
- Grill with vertcal blades
- Bi-color paint
- see MB!

VW:
- nothing!
