I personally think that GM are after the Major German Companies. In particular, BMW & <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Benz</span>. One look at the GTO and you get disgusted at how BMW can let it happen. You think lawsuit right? Well take into consideration that DaimlerChrysler is in a suit because Hummer & Jeep brands have the same 7 slotted grill. Ever wonder why those two are starting to look so much alike recently? What really ticks me is how BMW can allow DaimlerChrysler to so closely mimic its flagship car, the Phaeton with one of Chrylsers most successful affordable cars ever, the 300C. I know, I know...no comparison, but I have heard many say it looks like the Rolls... anyways, bottom line is, these companies arnt helping distinguish themselves enough, so they copy from the most distinguished...which although biased but true I beleive, is BMW. ie: kidney grill, hoffmeister kink, round headlights/angel eyes, list just goes on and on and on... :whistle:

Angel eye is the light ring around the main headlights. E60 has 4 angel eyes.

Looks like BMW copied the Pontiac stepped bumper concept for the new 3 series.

In reply= Maybe so, but the BMW Kidneys are still there :P
