Default Argument Starter....

I love car and driver but sometimes i wonder what world these guys live in...

"The s4's styling distinctions include brightwork on the side mirrors and peculiar ground-effects strakes along the lower body-side panels. Both touches seem out of place on this otherwise clean shape"

WTF?

I agree with you; I think the mirrors and door blades really set the S4 apart in nice, subtle way.
