Default 2008 Chevy Malibu a B7 copycat?

Especially the front end and the rear valence. I bet they studied the shape of B7's brake lights too.

Default I must be blind because I don't see any resemblance in the front or the tail lights.

And tail pipes on both sides are common these days.

Default I mean Chevy borrowed a lot of styling cues from B7.

Default *shrug* I guess it's subjective, but you know who really rips off designs?

Kia...

Default Absolutely! GM clearly stole Audi's concept of

having 4 wheels and 4 doors.

Default Designers jump around from company to company...

if they have a successful design at one company the bidding wars begin. they end up where the money takes them and reproduce a similar style car for the new badge. look at the b5 passat and the ford 500. supposedly the same guy behind both of those. the new jaguar versus the aston martin. i think same guy there too.
