Copied car designs.

[obi_waynne]

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?

i think fiat own maserati (or the other way round), dont you think the punto looks exactly like the maserati 3200gt from the front (which coincidently looks like a DB7 from the front!!)

 

[StevieDB9]

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!!)

The new Ford grills are very similar to Aston Martin designs. It looks good but surely originality should count for something.

The Audi A1 is without a doubt a 2002 -2009 Seat Ibiza for badge snob suckers.

seat exeo a copy of an older audi a4.

 

[obi_waynne]

They bought the old design from Audi and stuck cheaper interior plastics on it. It was a great floorpan and worked really well so its potentially a very good car.

Maybe they just swapped it for the old SEAT ibiza and rebaged it the Audi a1
