Every now and then, a car comes out that seems to borrow from an-other's design...
Post up your best! Not form the same manufacturer, like Opel Omega/Holden Commodore or Ford torino/Ford falcon etc First: Mitsubishi Outlander v's Peugeot 4007 Ferrari Daytona V's Rover SD1

Wow .. the Outlander and 4007 look literally identical ... either one of them looks like they were too lazy to really make changes to it.

Borrowed ! try blatantly ripped off . I think the link between the SD1 and Daytona is a bit tenuous though .

The Renault Fluence and Focus look nothing alike, compare the shape of the boot lid, the arc of the rear roof frame and it's width shape around the rear door glass....and that just to start with... |

it would have to be with it being that close.
Just like the old Holden/Toyota days.

the 4007 is a badge engineered Outlander - think Telstar/626
edit - too slow!! Never thought of the Rover /Daytone though - they are freaky side by side

The SR20 Turbo makes a great conversion for them. I however love the sound of them with the twin webbers. Exibit A |

I'll admit that they are similar shape but that's about where it ends. |

Just like the Lotus Carlton/Omega are based off the VN Commodore of the time.
