You ever look at a good-looking car for the 100th time and then it hits you just how much one aspect of its design reminds you of another car? Not necessarily a big thing, but one small detail that has you wondering “huh, I wonder if they really came up with this on their own or whether, maybe subconsciously, they were influenced by that other car”. Well, I had one such moment with the Mazda CX-5, one of my favorite compact SUVs, when I looked at its headlamp and fenders and realized just how much they look like those on the…
Infiniti QX60, née JX35. Sure, pretty much everything about the two designs is different, as is the segment in which they compete in, but there is no escaping that you could stick the headlamps from the Infiniti into the Mazda and hardly anyone would notice. But hey, I know which of the two designs I prefer!
