is it just me, or does anyone else notice a slight similarity between the new BMW 6 series and the old 300zx's... looks like BMW is running out of ideas :roll: but seriously though, that 6 series is one hot car

and ok, this next one might me a little bit of a stretch... but i gotta hand it to kia, what i view as a mock version of the jaguar s-type looks pretty nice... well, for a kia anyway

ya the bmw and the 300's exteriors are extremely similar. just looks like they took a 300 and added some curves here and there and put a bmw grill lol.

don't see a resemblance AT ALL to the 300zx / 6-series.

but yeah, the amanti is totally ripping off jaguar & mercedes 4-headlight thing. If I owned a amanti i'd debadge the crappy looking "KIA" emblems off the back immediately to fool ppl into thinking I own a jag.

I always though that Kia looked like a Mercedez rip-off, but seeing that Jag pic, that's definitely a jag rip-off

the kia is completely trying to be a jag, body wise anyways.

u have to see it in person and just glance at it.... i was flying by a BMW dealership and caught a glance of the 6 series sitting out by the highway and saw a slight similarity... i betcha if some one were to photoshop the pics and just show the silhouette of each, you'd start to see where i'm coming from

I think it's the windows, especially the design of the rear and how it's divided
