Inspiration or thievery? YOU decide!

SWP · 12-20-2017, 07:13 PM

I see more Focus ST and Mustang than BRZ.

Wasn't it the same thing with the Sonata's back looking very similiar to the Honda Accords?

Hyundai look like AUDI because the HYUNDAI group basically bought out the old AUDI design team. This is why it all looks the same, meanwhile Audi has yet to settle into an radical changes an they're working off the old design in a 911 evolution way. The Hyundai Hatch looks just like it did before with a new face that' about it. ;/ there is an N version or something that's suppose to be faster too iirc.

There are only so many potential design basics to go around. When something becomes "modern" and "popular" then many of the manufactures use it. The current go to is fake vents and weird shaped grills.
Trends are not new:

I mean, kia and hyundai are the greatest manufacturers ever.... so it is likely that toyota somehow stole the design. Thievery!!

Who stole it from ford.

Sierra Cosworth RS500

It has headlights, a grill and some wheels, plagiarism is rife in the car industry.
