If you look carefully at the new Regal, I can't help but to think it's an E60 with a different badge looks wise, especially the side and rear views.
It even has the Shark Fin.
I know most GM cars are now built in Europe, I wonder if Bangle designed the Regal too

I noticed it too. I think the current Honda Accord sedan is a straight up copy of the E60.

I agree with this, but don't really see the resemblance to the Buick. I guess maybe the side mirrors may slightly resemble the e60 M5 mirror's shape if you really try to force the similarities. The car looks more like a variation of an Acura RL or the likes.

Dont see the resemblance. The Buick retains the baby fat...time to abandon ship if/when it does.

The lines of both cars are the same. The stance is the same. The profile, color choices and interiors are similar.

Mmm...the Honda does resemble the E60 a lot more than the Buick.

Is that why we go thru all the trouble of adding the bodykits, big wheels, tints, spoilers and suspension for seperation?

The accord is a blatant copy.
