Am I the only one who thinks these two models look alike?

GM/Toyota platform sharing?

 

now that you mention it, they do look similar...

 

off all the cars in the world to take you design inspiration from......

I'm sure this means it has all of the other attributes that entice people to buy Solara's....

 

i love how they both have the same lines running down the sides from the tail lights.

lol

 

no, actually toyot has a mutual agreement with GM and especially pontiac and subaru, toyota lends and sells their designs to them, ie: pontiac vibe is a toyota matrix, and the G6 coupe is a solara

 

when i saw a g6 in person i though that the rear lights are similer to a 350z

 

no way is that the same.... the gas door is on the other side! . . . . . .

 

same here

 

Most cars today look like something else. Style seems to be pretty low on the list of important things to do on the car. The Accord coupe isnt far off from those either. What is the Kia sedan that looks like a mix of every Euro lux car? The G6 has nothing to do with the Solara other than looking similar. The Vibe and the Matrix are the same car except for a few body panels.

 

The G6 looks better... I hate Solaras.

 

YEH its the same thing isuzu does with honda, gm and another company i believe

 

Saturn Vue V6's have Honda motors. Never heard of Isuzu(GM) sharing with Honda but maybe Isuzu has a Vue chassis'd SUV. Toyota shared the Corolla chassis with the Chevy Metro. Toyota doesn't have a mutual agreement with Subaru, they own an 8.9% share of them. GM no longer has ties with Subaru so who knows what's going to happen with the Saab 9-2X Aero.

 

I think the Isuzu engine was a diesel for Europe. I dont think the 9-2X was meant to be a long term car. Same with the 9-7X. They are just there to fill a gap until they build an actual Saab. Im sure it will still share a platform with some other GMs but be planned as a Saab from the start instead of a last minute thing like those 2 were.

 

Duramax diesel in GM pickups is basically an Isuzu engine.

 

I really didn't even think Solara when I first saw the G6. If you look at the side profile it is a clear ripoff of the Scion tC. I see the 2 of them and have a hard time telling them apart till I get closer.
