(The R Class is the same as the Chrysler Pacifica. The 300/Charger/Magnum is built on the E-class chassis.)

LOL, they aren't the same car. The new MB C class and the Chrysler Sebring do not share a single part.
And saying MB and Chrysler were "the same company" is a bit of an overstatement. Chrysler was acquired by MB (Daimler Benz to be exact) and of course later sold by MB. Some MB parts were used on Chryslers (generally prior generation MB parts), but no Chrysler parts were used on MBs. The Chrysler acquisition had little to no effect on MB cars. Chrysler was most accurately viewed as an asset of Daimler (albeit perhaps a negative asset).
But the C class and the Sebring do look a lot alike. I think the new C is downright ugly, esp. in person (in pics it's ok).
It is funny, though, on the MB site where I saw that pic, the diehard MB fans claim those two cars "look nothing alike" and "share no similarities, other than both being silver and having wheels." LOL.
