New York Show Déjà vu: Remind You of Something?


The term déjà vu is French and it literally means, “Already seen”. As with most auto shows, we got that overwhelming sense of familiarity with some of the vehicles that made their debut at New York’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center too. Leaving aside the 2009 Acura TSX and the Pontiac G8 Sport Truck that are re-grilled versions of the 2009 Euro Honda Accord and Holden Ute respectively, we found several cars that reminded us of other vehicles in one way or another.

Just to set things straight, we’re not saying that these vehicles are the product of cloning, but they do share a number of common design elements with other cars. Sometimes, this is more obvious like for example the front-end of the Kia KOUP Concept with that of the Euro Honda Civic Type-R, other times, less apparent, like the overall shape of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe compared to that of the Infinit G37 Coupe. –Check out our comparisons right after the jump
