Rear clip on a Saab 9-5........where have we seen thee before, hmmmm?

If mockery is the sincerest form of flattery, then the P10 stylists are certainly beaming everytime they pull up behind Svenska Aeroplan Anne & Bjorns range-topper!

Am I the only one who has noticed?

yep, felt the same. every time i see that 9-5 it reminds me of P11.

man, they need to make their own designs and stop copying others.

Yeah I'd noticed that too ! , the UK P11 rear cluster
is also very similar to the old Rover 800 series
(I'm obviously a bit sad to spot that one tho :buck )

Ouch!!! That last crack about the Rover 800's taillights is painfully true. Here's why:

Rover 800 = '87 Sterling (USA model....anyone remember?) = 1st Generation Acura (Honda) Legend in disguise. Yukk!

At least the P10 was around before Rover revised their hindside to look the same. Thank goodness they stopped shipping 'em stateside.

Please bring on the Mini, though !!!!
