Default Are new Jap cars looking almost the same?

Why is it that Nissan and Mitsubishi have almost the exactly same nose on their new cars? Can't their designers think of other, more unique designs?


Nissan Skyline GT-R


Mitsubishi Evo X


Mitsubishi Ralliart Eclipse

i think its partly due to that new safty rule that all new cars must have a swooping bonnet which give alot of cars a similar look. But im not bothered, that GTR and Evo look damn fine.

Yeah, I agree w/ Arman. And it is not only the Japanese are copying Audi. Look at the new E90 3 - Series. The front end is clearly derived from from Audi.

I was about to point out that every company now seems to want to have a "Corporate-front end" and most of the time it ends up looking something like a shield.
