Default Car styling similarities

I saw both of these posted on the respective forums recently, and was struck by the similarity in the styling (though the sizes are a bit different…).

WOW, that is very similar, but Audi still wins the battle.
Tesla's rear looks a bit like XF Jag and a bit Lexus-ish styling

I agree - the back end of the Tesla looks a bit too heavy for my liking too, but it does mean it can be turned into a 7 seater (if you wanted to do that, and that's only for kids..). The line of the A5/S5 flow better.

Does the styling of this remind you of anything?
