New Acura "Performance EV" concept unveiled at Monterey Car Week. The rear design looks... familiar!

The irony is the press release says the rear design is inspired by the 2nd-gen NSX.

Boy ain't that the truth! The side-ding vent looks like the Eletre, and even the side windows follow the Emira.

I noticed this too! The front is strikingly similar to the Eletre as well.

The Emira looks like a Ferrari/McLaren baby. Not much footing to stand on regarding "stolen" design.

Looks like the Buick Envista in the front. Most likely the same platform?

This one will be on a new Honda platform. No more Ultium sharing.

I didn't even know Buick still existed.

I agree and on my second day of ownership, had a Ferrari (similar red color), zoom up beside me to check out my car, likely thinking it was a Ferrari, after viewing it from a distance. Regardless, the Emira has beautiful lines and I get admiring compliments almost every day.

The other day I heard someone shout "Hey Mclaren! Light 'em up!" while I was sitting at a stop light.

At least they are keeping true to the past....all Suv's tend to blend in and look the same.

Shout back "They're all lit up now!" while pointing at the dashboard.

Yep, they're still hanging in there. Coincidentally, by comparison, Lotus' annual production volume represents about 4% of Buick's.
