Hah, if you really take copying that far we can go as far as saying any car is a copy of the horse and buggy: Both are bodies with wheels being propelled by something that creates power.

That's why we can't say one is the copy of the other. As an oligopoly the car market is always in rivalries and must jump on the bandwagon if it wishes to stay alive. Manufacturers that try to go "solo" ends up dead or near dead, just look at TVR.

I think the Japanese aren't copying though, they still share many similarities. Most Japanese sports cars have turbocharged engines, they all tend to be really good handlers, and tend to be cheaper than what they compete with, isn't that a bit different than the competition?
