Remember the 300+?

Something that's been bugging me since the launch of the C-Class Coupe in 2011, is how its window/beltline bears a striking resemblance to Ford Australia's 300+ (a Hillier fabrication) 2001 Melbourne Motor Show concept. Yet another bizarre MB link to the AU Falcon, akin to the rear styling of the first-gen CLS.
