At work I got to talking to one of the customers, and the subject of family cars came up somehow. Anyways, I was saying how much I like my Accord, and the guy says to me somthing along the lines of how bland Hondas in general look, and then proceded to talk about how great a job Ford did with the styling of the Fusion. I immediatly pointed out how the car looks like a 5th Gen Prelude from the front, and a 4th Gen Prelude from the back. Of couse he said that they bore no resemblance whatsoever, and at that point I just left it at that. I still think Ford ripped off Honda hardcore on this one, however...

At first glance, I thought the red fusion in the third pic was a Prelude...
I want a prelude.

They look alike, but in my opinion, have no relation. So I’m going to say it is a coincidence.
