just the overall bodylines in general... the front and rear fenders... the hood lines...and the rims look like stock rx8 rims on steroids...

That is Chevy's "SS" concept car.

There does seem to be a lot of RX-8 in the face and rims.

I think the new Jag concept is more of a copy (too bad I'm too lazy to find an image for you guys)... Then again, Jag, Mazda, Ford...

Not to leave everyone high and dry (and how dry I am by the way), here's a link to a page with a junk load of pictures (and an article too), of the aforementioned Jag...

I don't get how everyone figures that Chevy copied Mazda. It takes way to long to develop a concept car for them to have copied the RX-8 and have it at shows already. Just my thoughts.

Lots of cars look similar.

Here's a 33 year old RX-8.

I saw a pic of that Jaguar R-D6. My immediate thought was: Ford is sharing the RX-8 concept with Jaguar. What a RIP! Luckily, its BUTT-UGLY from the front view.

These posts crack me up, the wheels look sort of similar, beyond that I just don't see it.

Okay Ike, check out this pic of the SS that I took at the LA Auto show... especially the images on the monitor screens in the background. Looks RX-8ish to me!

I can see the similarities more in that photo, the smiley robot face is sort of similar. :p But there are so many cars with similarities, it's hard for me to say the RX-8 had any influence on this design. Prettymuch everything on the road these days is just a new mixture of things that have been done before.
