Honda, not my taste

Saw this article in The Star Motoring a while back, just want to comment a little about Honda.

Insight a Prius lookalike? Nonsense!

A Honda design executive denied on Thurs the often made allegation that his company's Insight was a copycat of Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling hybrid car.

"We don't think it looks like the Prius at all," said Nobuki Ebisawa, managing director at Honda R&D Co, Honda's research unit. "There may be some similarities in the roof line, but it is clearly different."

In my personal opinion, I think Honda Insight does look very much like Toyota Prius. At first glance, I'd have mistaken Insight as Prius if not for the 'H' logo, the similarities apply to the front and rear of the car design.

Honda's copycat trait started with the new Honda City (the model with Transformer-like front grill design). Take a closer look at the rear light, don't you think it looks very familiar? No? Well, it does to me. It looks very very similar to BMW 3Series E90 model.

Hate Honda for copying my dream car's design :P
Though E90 may not be my favorite but it's still from BMW. Btw, I like E46 more :)

BMW E46
