    Automobile Design copy cats.

    I've wanted to post on the topic for the longest time, especially after seeing the Hyundai Santa Fe SUV come out PRIOR to the Cayenne with basically the same lines as the Cayenne, obviosuly ripped off through the spy shots of the Cayenne 2 years ago.

    Now we have the new Honda who as well has obviously ripped off the style of the new 5 series, ugly or not.

    Is there anything that either Porsche or BMW can do about this. As much as I dont like the Cayenne or even the new 5, I think that they would be more attractive cars and more sought after cars if the style was kept uniquely to themselves.

    Why would I want to be driving a car that looks like a Honda or a Hyundai.

    Its god damn ridiculous, is what it is...

    Do the Far East design anything right?...

    Just pisses me right off.
    Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

    While my Porsche is a Boxster S, and my daily driver is a Z06, there is only on car in the whole world that is unique.

    And it starts with a 9... I can't wait for the 997 to get here so I can regain some automotive autonomy.

    Yes, I have a thought. Get your facts straight.

    Both of the cars were designed well before the Porsche and BMW were shown... Both cars were already for sale when spy shots of the BMW and Porsche were printed.
