Or that new Buick SUV/Crossover thing. Everything on it is a copy of a RX.
Peak inside the trunk of a GTO...got that same wonderful gas tank design. Hell the GTO is damn close to the SC lines with the body.

Are you kidding?

The GTO = Holden Monaro = Holden Commodore with a shortened wheelbase and no rear doors (Holden Commodore is a largish family/police/taxi type car).

No, look at the design...Not the performance.
How many cars have that (Take up half the trunk) gas tank...Off the top of my head...Two. GTO's and SC's. The body design of the GTO is a total rip off of the SC. Modernized, yes. Open the below links up and toggle back and forth.

As far as Buick goes. The front and the rear is a copy of the Lexus GS.
That Enclave copied everyone Lexus, BMW, Benz.

By all means if I'm off...Please correct me.

I agree with the GTO, especially the line that runs down the side of the car....

Ok, so maybe it's a stretch, but I just don't think there's that much design borrowing going on.

Rip offs of the SC or each other?

Cause those "pairs" are the same platform

Neurocity--

The Infiniti Q45 had an in-trunk fuel tank. I was surprised when I bought my SC that there was one in the trunk

Not many cars have that though.
