Anyone notice how much new Honda Accord rips off E60?

Since I've gotten my BMW I've noticed it. I pointed it out to the wife a couple of weeks ago. Not just the Accord but some of the Civic models. Some of the wheel details are very similar, body details also, trunk lines particularly.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I was going to post something on this, but haven't had time. I think they also blended in some Audi A6 elements as well.
In terms of cars, the Japanese have always been known as more perfectionists instead of innovators.

Yes, the 4 door Accord looks like an E60, but the Accord Coupe looks pretty nice, albeit derivative. For $28K for the 270bhp V6, seem like a great deal, especially with the reliability.
