I don’t see it man, sorry....What’s wrong with the mx-3 being totally original?

usually cars are completely original a designer sits down and just starts scribbling without even thinking.. if there by chance is an incfluence its not going to be a car its going to be an example a curve from a fork they saw at a restaraunt or a picture that had a nice line stuff like that... the mx-3 is an extremely unique car as i dont know many that dont have the little back window behind the main side window.. what year did the mx-6 come out?? and mx-5? these cars are all similar in some aspects so maybe whatever came first outta those would be the influence?

Very sweet looking 'E' and MX-3 too. Dunno about any intentional jag-influence-factor on the MX-3 design but I can still see where you're coming from. Have you checked the original MX-3 design concept sketches from the main page?

Rest of the sketches are here

If the original front end design concept wasn't influenced by the jag, it seems the Erebuni aftermarket "fishmouth" certainly could have been...
