Well I also think Zephyr was a mistake in that a nobody remembered the car and it's not like remembering the train was much better

I was behind a recent Mercedes estate the other day and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out if it was a C or E class. They look the same to me, just a generic blob with a Mercedes star glued on like an afterthought. And I’m the kind of guy that usually is able to tell the make and model of a car car from its headlights when it’s pitch dark and it’s coming the other way.
I miss the sharp styling of the W212.
I think the reason they went with those names is because that’s what Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura and even Volvo and Cadillac do.
Was there word a year or two ago that mentioned one or two French brands were coming back to the US? Did something not go right? Was it because of the Nissan/Opel merger?
I didn't even know there was a Zephyr that wasn't one of these...The original Zephyr was a fine-looking ride with a V12 under the hood. It should have been remembered. That said, even if the original was forgotten, Zephyr is still a great name even without the history.
