Audi calls out the Acura NSX for borrowing styling cues - photos

boring comment...

Completely agree on the lack of similarities. Actually I think two designs are not even close to each other and I bet the first tweet belongs to an Audi employee. Nevertheless Audi should seriously consider differentiating the designs of different segments.

totally agree. plus, that 22-year old quattro spyder was probably the last time audi bothered to employ a designer...

this guys are just jealous... :) yee thats right Audi looks like sh.t :0 my god, but looks that people like that and in 2012 they bought Audi more then ever, so sad, is it???

it seems for some people eyes and brain is just a decorative part without any function. i didnt find anything in common! maybe the tweet was referring to fact that both have 4 wheels!

So what if the NSX want to be like an R8. Who cares. Even BMW, Merc, etc, and they all look the same.

Youre absolutely right. And hey, the new NSX does look pretty good still.

It's not really the back, one could just argue the that the taillight design was inspired by Aston Martin.

You suggest that if you create a product, put millions $ into research and development, then someone comes and takes what made the final cut - it's ok? If I was apple I'd sue anyone using the App Store Idea, or App layout touch screen, or buttonless device to begin with. Audi designed a comfortable and extremely awesome SuperCar, so far Acura stomped the most on their flowers...

Oh and the fact that the Iron Man Acura was actually build on the R8 platform, then call it "Original" -- yah I would be really pissed off if I was Audi. The only people that justify this NSX as original never created anything unique themselves and then had it stolen.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: The information I got/found was incorrect, so my comment about Iron Man's Acura is incorrect. But, nevertheless, the car is so similar in overall shape that they might as well have, instead of redesigning all the bodypanels and going thru trouble to fit - just to make the car look like something already produced..

that is very true unfortunately. back in the day, the japs were inventing drifting and producing supras and nsx's. what on earth happened to them?
