Same thing happens all the time with the 3 and 5 series, especially when people see them from behind or rear three-quarter. The fact that the 5 doesn't have the integrated grill-headlights currently is a bit arbitrary, based on product design/release timelines, not a deliberate attempt to keep it distinct. The next one will get that design feature.

I agree with that. The S Class coupe and convertible are the poster children for this design language - they should have made the sedans carry the look in that same exciting way. Even if they had to make the sedans more coupe-like, ala Jaguar. I suppose they bump into the CLS market if they do that though, which is unfortunate.
