Default Look, someone copied tC head light design...

Or... the other way around ... I just thought it's kinda funny that tC obviously copied the old BMW7's idea and made it better, and now the new BMW's headlight looks more like tC's

True, but should Pontiac have copied the tC's tails so... Obviously?

Has anyone noticed the similarity of the G6's taillights and ours?
There are a few times i would see a G6 down the road thinking it was a tC and speeding up just to find out it wasnt the right car

I think Maxima taillights also look similar but shaped slightly different. I haven't seen a G6 yet.

EDIT: Okay just looked up the G6. They definitely look more similar to the tC than the Maxima but same idea.

no toyota didn't help pontiac with the g6.. the viba/matrix is a joint venture in california (same place the prizm/corolla's came from)..

plus i think the g6 looks like the tC in the rear and not the front is because if you remember toyota leaked the tC pictures months before it came out, but they only showed the rear and all you could see were the taillights.. even the g6 coupe looks almost just like a solara..

Just look for a Pontiac running tC tails.

and the new g6 coupe/convertible looks ALOT like solara.
