Or perhaps even ok for stilprägnant, as per Thomas' comment.

Maybe 'characteristic / typical of the style of xyz' is just as good, as I think has been mentioned elsewhere.

Either way, probably not just simply 'stylish' but connected to a particular style, i.e. that of the brand.

Asker: Besonders stilprägnant certainly doesn't work as "especially impressively stylish" though, does it ;-)

  • Especially concise in style is the area around the brand label

agree  Thomas Pfann: Für „stilprägnant“ (nicht „stilprägend“). prägnant = etwas in knapper Form genau treffend, darstellend / IMO: stilprägend = it forms/defines the style, sets the scene; stilprägnant = it's characteristic/typical of the car's general style

  -> Thanks, Thomas - I think we're all getting tangled up. So, "prägend" forms (the style), whereas "prägnant" is imbued with (style) - is that right? Surely then the answer is simply "stylish"??
