There's this Saturn ION in my housing complex, and everytime I see it from behind, I'm like "Is that a tC?" but it's not. I think it's actually a 4 door Saturn Ion, not even the coupe!

But that's from the back, not the front.

Someone somewhere posted a photo of a Volvo that had an identical scoop/grille (nothing else was similar, though). Maybe it was that one.

Take a look at the IS300. There's your similar lines. The headlights, grill, accents, bumper scoopes. It's amazingly similar.

The tail end of the new Maxima reminds me of a tC. Whenever I see one out of the corner of my eye I think "look a tC!" but then I take a second glance and its just a Maxima.

You make it sound like the Maxima's the TC's younger brother..

I saw a Nissan Altima (the newest style) from far away and I swore it was another tC... then I saw it close up and realized I'm a dumbass.

The front end of the new for 2005 Volvo S40 and V50 look very similar to the tC. It was one of the cars on my shopping list and I did like the way it drove but at almost $30K optioned the way I wanted it, there was no way. It uses the same chassis as the Mazda 3 and the European Ford Focus.
