We're just days away from the pomp and hype at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Photos and info are already leaking out and the nets ablaze with rumors of what will be the hotties at the show.But what is interesting to us is the trend we see from a LOT of companies.How do we say this diplomatically?Ah, screw it...The trend of DOWNRIGHT COPYING of designs.This used to be reserved territory for the Asian brands but no more.Seems like it's getting rampant.Just take a look at our cover shot of the Ford Explorer profile next to the 2013 Range Rover.Or look at our first pic below of the upcoming A7 concept from Hyundai...sorry, HCD-14.And how about that Ford Fusion face which is a COMPLETE ripoff from Aston?Or the Infiniti Q50 headlight teaser that looks EXACTLY like the Bangle 5-Series headlight?This all begs the question...Is this a smart strategy and do people even notice or CARE?How many Explorers are being sold as the poor Cougar's Range Rover?Our guess is A LOT.And as naughty as it is, it seems to be working.Plus there's no sign of a Samsung/Apple copyright battle brewing.It seems the the people are speaking with their wallets and saying give me something I can afford that LOOKS LIKE that Bentley and you got me.What are your thoughts on this question Spies?Are we on to something and does it bother YOU?Spies, discuss...Take a spin at some of the shots that make up the AutoSpies official preview gallery below...AutoSpies.com is the number one site in the world for Auto Show photos. With other sites you're a spectator but with Auto Spies is like you're THERE!OFFICIAL Detroit Auto Show Preview Photo Gallery**The 2013 Detroit Auto Show Gallery and coverage is sponsored by Lexus

I'm confused how all the photos in this post are related to the topic? Then again, i do see a resemblance between Seal and the Q7.Anyway, if a design looks good, then I don't think it's un-smart for a sub-premium brand to mimick it. But I think they're foolish to believe that a consumer is going to go shop for a Fusion thinking, "Yes, I'm gonna look like I have an Aston". Or shop for a Hyundai in the hopes that their car will be mistaken for an A7. The smart part of it is that an attractive design is an attractive design and that's what lures customers. Kind of on the same subject, I don't understand why the Japanese carmakers can't seem to come up with their own original and distinct looks from each other. Between Honda/Toyota/Nissan/Lexus/Acura/Infiniti, you see such similar design themes, it has just gotten redundant. For example, I'm a bit baffled at how an Acura design can look at the new RLX and just not see the blatant rip-off of the C-pillar design from Infiniti and Lexus and how they can be okay to take it to market. Same with Lexus when they introduced the new GS. Then again, the Infiniti design seems a direct rip-off of BMW. Why is it that Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are all very distinct from each other? Are the Germans just able to be more original with their designs? — cidflekken (View Profile)

A few random comments...1) the explorer was introduced to market before the Range Rover so it technically is a premium brand copying a mass marketed brand, not a good idea. A RR should be distinctive., 2) Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Its human nature and happens in every industry, usually the copier however lacks the talent to be innovative and becomes a follower hoping to catch some of the originator's success. In the end its best to be first to market., and 3) the Japanese have great style in art, swords, gardens, etc, things they spent centuries refining within their own culture. However in cars they are late to the game, began by copying others and failed to develop a style of their own. The Koreans were smart by hiring European designers and leapfrogging the process of self identity. — PUGPROUD (View Profile)

You do realize the new C-class coupe is a dead ringer for the Accord coupe which came out a few years ago.Yeah, as someone mentioned before, the Japanese can't design cars, so the Enzo must have designed itself.MB and the Germans have been "borrowing" designs from the Japanese the last few years. Ignore that fact if you want.Nice that you pointed out the Koreans just admit they can't design cars so they have to hire white guys to do it for them, or steal it for them.— HughJass (View Profile)

When the Explorer came out it was immediately said by both the press and the folks on this website that it was a RR rip-off.What changed on the new 2013 RR? Mostly, just the head and tailight design.Who use to own LR? FORD.Who had access and perhaps rights to the early concept designs of the 2013 RR? FORD.You'd be naive to think that they didnt style the Explorer to look the RR knowing what the RR would look like.THINK ABOUT IT: Why the hell about LR need to look to FORD for design inspiration?? They have all the talent and good taste they need to put out beautifully styled products. It's the Americans that need desparate help.One last note to help prove my point: FORD ripped off Aston's grill for the new Focus, Fusion and C-MAX - they use to own Aston with Jag/LR and Volvo as a part of "PAG" - this is why Aston isn't suing them.— M35MT (View Profile)

Might be going out on a limb here but am I the only one that remembers when Ford owned Range Rover just a few years back (sold 2008 I think)? Considering how long it takes some vehicles to make it to production, I'm not shocked to see some similarities in the two brands. Maybe RR inherited some of the Ford reliability?? I hear less and less about RR's being a problem vehicle.— trmckin (View Profile)

See my comment above on thatAlso if you recall when LR introduced their 'concentric circle' headlight design on the 2003 RR that also appears on the 2003 Discovery, Ford redesigned the Explorer, Escape and F-150 with a more subtle version of it, because it looked that good and they could get away with copying.— M35MT (View Profile)

I think all the automakers (from all countries) look at each other and emulate what they like. They all try to find the good ideas and implement them in their vehicles. For example, the latest generation of mid size sedans mostly went in a direction that saw more flair in their styling (in varying degrees), Sonata, Optima, Fusion, Mazda6.The loud noises you hear about copying and ripping off is just the fan boys trying to put all the other brands down. — PLAY (View Profile)

Absolutely, why not? Common sense. If it works, copy it. Business is business, and this is a proven business practice.I would love to buy a Miata that was inspired by a Boxster/Ferrari/Lambo— quizz (View Profile)

Well, the Accord Coupe didn't originate that C-pillar design, which is the only resemblance to the C-Class Coupe. Despite that similarity, those two cars would never be confused on the streets. I believe that design was on Aston Martin for years, and, most recently on the Cayman, among others. — cidflekken (View Profile)

Compare a last gen Sonata to theAccord from2 generations back.Compare the Sonata 2 generations back to a C-class from 2 generations back and tell me where Hyundai got their front end design from.Take a Ford Kuga and tell me where Hyundai stole the design for their "new" Santa Fe from. Its only new because Americans never got the Kuga.— HughJass (View Profile)

Read an article in Bloomberg a month or so back and it clearly stated Samsung knowingly copies beause their willing to pay any penalties that they may have to pay if any.Whatever the fine might be, copying and selling will make you 10x that.It takes people with lots of gall and no talent to produce such things and people with no dignity who are usually cheap too to purchase said products.— HughJass (View Profile)

Hurry up with my negative God damn points. But it won't change the Lancer's backend from ripping off the IS's. Negative votes won't change the fact that Volt's backend ripped off the Acura ZDX (or was it the other way around?). Hurry up with my negative points.

Hurry up with my negative God damn points. But it won't change the Lancer's backend from ripping off the IS's. Negative votes won't change the fact that Volt's backend ripped off the Acura ZDX (or was it the other way around?). Hurry up with my negative points.

Now lets get electronics shall we? I mean who the if it wasn't for logos could you tell the differance between the Sony's new Ihome and Bose's? Could you tell the diffrance between a 46" Insigna and 46" Toshiba 1080P? Could you tell the dirrerance between the real differance between the Playstaion Move and Wiimote concept? Iphone, Android, Galaxy same shit diffrent name. Comcast, Timewarner, At&T, Verizon, same shit differant name. You can get HBO on any one of those devices with a first 3 month discout. — jtz7 (View Profile)

I know Hughass was always comparing Hyundai's prices to walmart. Ignoring that Mitsubishi, Suzuki and once upon a time Saturn was also cheap. But you'd just bring up Hyundai because it's Korean. Also you forgot Amazon is cheaper than Walmart. After all why else is Best Buy trying to match prices. But if you want to be a dumb ass and buy the same HDMI cable for $54 dollars instead of $12.99 hughass.go ahead hughass.— jtz7 (View Profile)

Hughjazz: So let's go a bit futher shall we? You like to make fun of discount prices. Ok? Let's step it up a little and get to the Rich trying to save money. You ever seen "Shark Tank" So why is Damon owner of FUBU so tight with his money. Last time he took interest in someone else's business, gas prices were $2.80 a gal. Why does Nike Owner Phil Knight perfer to have his products produce in 3rd world countries and not America? Because he wants to save money. That's why. You see hughass when you rich you have to think streatigicly or you won't be rich anymore. Why do you think hughjazz investors are quick to get out of a investment if they feel the company they are investing in won't be successful? Becuase they don't wont' to lose money. They won't to continue to get richer and if they get poor, some former rich people kill themsleves because they can't deal with life. Weak.— jtz7 (View Profile)

Hey Hughjazz I like how you say Hyundai's logo ripped off Honda. yet won't say how Verizon Wireless swoosh ripped off Nike because it's not Korean. You really want to go there with Logos? Do you? I can bring logos you never thought in your life copied. Let's do logos? Timewarner's logo is also the logo for channel CBS which goes into the Illuminati. Should I get triangles with a eye inside? I bet you Hughass wouldn't know that the Delta airline logo is tied with the triangle at the back of the US dollar bill.— jtz7 (View Profile)

Triangle Logos: Mitsubishi, Zelda, and Delta all tied to the back of the US dollar. I can get eyes and/or triangles. I can decode a lot of shit that the blind would never know. Who wants me to decode Sante Clause? That Santa hat I can decode that. Sante is evil. Who wants proof? I'll bring some proof. I can decode the movie "Sparkle" with Whitney Houston on it.

82, of course not. I was just making a point. It's a ridiculous back and forth over meaningless details. As for believing Obama... I don't believe any politician. Republican or Democrat. One point though, the sentiment that the auto was invented in the US existed long before Obama. With all of that said... Ford is credited with revolutionizing the moving assembly line, fighting patents to allow him to produce a car that the common man could afford, and pioneered welfare capitalism amongst other things. He's an interesting person to study if you like the history of automobiles. His impact on industy (not just auto) is pretty impressive. As for debating the angle and positioning of c-pillars, headlight shapes, grilles, and who copied who... I'll just sit back and watch. Seems we have a panel of experts right here to wonder about.— trmckin (View Profile)

It's just opinions bud. No need to get worked up. Styles are copied all the time by every manufacturer. You wouldn't have vehicle categories if everything was completely different. Like I said... If you like it, buy it. If not, then don't. Going back and forth over plastic trim that is probably made in China isn't worth it. It's all a pi55ing match to see if you can improve on what the competition has. No worries.— trmckin (View Profile)
