Lots and lots of cars have similar designs, accents and profiles. It seems to be the way. I can also imagine that car design may well be like using images for other products and as long as there is at least a X% difference in overall design, a manufacturer cannot come after the person using that ‘design’
And let’s be serious the 1st gen 1 series looked quite a lot like the Alfa 147 from the side, especially in red!

I guess because it been a design element is most bmws for the last few decades, but agree its not a design patent as such but hasnt been used much by other makers.
Its only interesting as the recent design leads had been doing musical chairs accross the industry. So its interesting to see how elements appear in different brands.
Its kind of like how ford grills resemble the old aston grills, and interesting how audi and hyundia have a similarish hexagon/octogon gaping grill...

Is it just me, or do those Alfas look like the front wheels are only just in front of the doors? With a lot of car sticking out in front of the wheels?
One of the things I liked about my 1 Series was that it seemed to have a wheel in each corner.
Not quite the best angle to see it, but hopefully there is a difference.

No - one from the 1970's not as big but its there so Ford have just made it bigger
Another ?? what else is better about the Capri over the ROADSTER ??.MrPT said:I never knew what the "Hofmeister Kink" was until this thread; I always thought it was something a bit more dramatic!
Either way, did we just find another reason why coupes are better?
Try to say it like Clarkson. Go on Paul try it...Roooadster and now Cooopri

On a day like this it’s hard to argue with you. PERFECT weather for topless motoring.
