So you think BMW was the first to bring a hatchback to market? Hardly. The 5GT looks like most other hatchbacks based on cars originally offered as a sedan. Plenty of cars outside the US are also available as a hatchback. Honda really isn't copying anyone here, least of all BMW. If this particular car resembles anything, it's a Nissan Altima. More to the point, this car will have been in development for ages to get to this point. The first 5GT shots were only available a few months back... So to suggest Honda is somehow copying the 5GT is way off the mark.

I thought the 5GT was somewhat "unattractive" but now this!!
