Nissan: Consider Yourself Sincerely Flattered

It's been a running joke for a while now that however pretty they are, all Aston Martins look the same, and just take inspiration from one another.

Now however, it looks like they're now taking more than a little inspiration from another car...

So here is the side profile of the new V12 Zagato, think of it what you will:

And here I've sectioned out the middle portion of the car's profile:

Which, in a conveniently similar colour, looks uncannily similar the same to this:

It's all there; the shape of the glasshouse, blacked A and B pillars, the roof curvature, the front wheelarch vent and horizontal side repeater...

Of course some cars share design cues but this is separated at birth. The GT-R is well known as a giant-killer but now the giants are imitating the R35's brutal architecture.

What's next, a Cygnet facelift based on the Micra?
