Which came first?

Also I think the 204 front bears a resemblance to the Astra as does the dash/console...

I believe there are just a few suppliers and it not a matter of choice but here is what we got so are the tyres.

Wouldn't have happened if they'd just stuck to making 124's would it !

Seem to get the paint from the same place too. So down market.
And look at the parking sensors!!!

And the rear a Honda Accord....

I think the problem may be that as cars get more and more aerodynamic the shapes all mould into one...

Probably all use the same CAD program

30 years ago older people would say "all cars look the same to-day", 20 years ago older people would say "all cars look the same to-day", 10 years ago... what's changed? We've all got older.

Otherwise known as the Tata Telcoline clone (or was that the other way round...)

Must admit, I do sometimes wonder whether I should have just settled for a Peugeot 307... *

If I remebmer correctly some years ago Ferrari were miffed because the Peugeot 406 coupe looked like a straight copy of one of their models. What goes around comes around.
Perhaps that is why Skoda owners are happy owners as the advertisemnts say?

 

[davidjpowell]

Pug 406 Coupe was designed by Pininfarina who also happened to design quite a few Ferrari models.

I'm sure you could fit the front bumper from the Peugeot if you like the look!

And you think this is anything new ?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Okay, I will put an end to this...

"Now I can see where EVERY manufacturer got their inspiration from":

Think of all the features that MB have made over the years which have been copied by all manufacturers eh?
