So how does this:



Look like this?



No hate from me either. But I can't really see it past how they're arranged. Grill shape isn't even the same.

EDIT: The fog light bezels look similar to our taillights, at least.

I am gonna throw in with Brian on this one. Flatten it out and there is a family resemblance. Not going to confuse the two in any way but the base geometry is there.
Not abnormal for cars of the same make to have some basic design keys in common though.

I drew the green in a separate layer, pasted it onto the Prius, and literally just stretched it vertically and slightly horitzontally.

Anyway, fuck it

I disagree with the fog lights all together, but maybe the headlight are similar?

IDK why but the green lines make the car look like a "angry bird" if you ignore the foglight lines hahaha

But, that's about it, isn't it? No one on the road is going to mistake a Prius C for an FR-S.

Since we're on the topic of similarities, I think the Genesis has more in common with the Prius C, and even then it's not hard to tell them apart:

When i say fog lights i mean the DRL/foglight and the shape of the bumper in that general area. Not just the round foglight itself. Sorry I should have been more clear.

Holy shit man, I didn't say people will mistake one car for the other. I said the FRONT ENDS are SIMILAR. LOL how can you twist something around like that? The front ends of the PRIUS C and the FR-S are more similar in appearance than the prius c and genesis by far.

I disagree, only the grill shape is close

Angles all wrong, headlights not even the basic same shape grill not even close and the fogs, well I don't even know what to say about the fogs.

Nobody is going to confuse them no but I don't think that was what he was going for. His outline show the similarities pretty well I think. I could look at both of those and know that the same designers had some input into them or at least borrowed from the other team.

Calm your tits. You're the one saying that they're very similar, which implied that to the untrained eye, an average person would have a hard time telling them apart.

If you want me to be more fair, the Prius front end looks like the Genesis crossed with an FR-S.

Anyway, I've said my piece.

I figured that was everyone's response and so that's why I said that the Prius C has more in common with the Genesis than FR-S, but perhaps I should have made that more clear. I'll state it this way: the Prius C looks like it took more from the Genesis than the FR-S, and even then, they aren't hard to differentiate. The only thing FR-S like is the basic arrangement and perhaps very basic shape.

But to me, aside from that basic shape, there is absolutely NOTHING aesthetically similar to the FR-S. So "very similar" doesn't cut it for me.
