Default Copied car designs.

I'm seeing so many makers copying each other designs. The new fiat look is very reminicent of the Aston martin DB front! (OR is this just me?)



What other copycat designs can you find or remember. There is a Lancia that looks like a Delorean. in the Early 90's the VW Golf, Astra Mk3 and Citroen ZX rears were all pretty much identical!

New Corsa or new Clio? Is there a difference?

the new jag is a cheap copy of the DB9, think it was the same guy that designed them.

Yeah that one got me too. I though ah here comes a DB9 - then as it passed I wondered why the owner had stuck a Jaguar badge on the back. (Rumour mill - JCB are looking to buy Jaguar from Ford!!)
