Default Honda/Nissan/Toyota and their respective luxury divisions steal everything

from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes.

Look at the Mercedes CLK coupe and the Honda Accord Coupe.

Default however, the current line of Audi's design also reminds me of some domestic cars years ago...

...i always wonder if Audi also took some ideas from the Chrysler Concord/LHS as well??!!
well, i guess so because when chrysler came out with that funny frontgrill design, it's quite creative at that time.

Default Wrong.

2001 Sonata

2001 C-Class

Then came the 2002 Sonata with similar headlights. Maybe it was just coincidence...
