Do you think some "same brand" cars look too much alike?

Well I am not bragging but I think we could consider ourselves car fans, and we should be able to recognize a car more easier than the other people. But even for us(or me at least) some cars just look too much alike, and usually these cars come from the same company. Now there are two that I just can't distinguish the difference unless I see the nameplate, guess who they are? Volvo S60 and S80. Oh man, they look so similar. What do you all think?

I am Pimping a S80 as we speak.
This dam thing is huge.
I would NOT spend $40,000 on this car.
Its 2.9 liters.
Its slow as balls.
The Radio is bad, the bose is great compared to this volvo radio.
Smooth ride though.
I cant figure out how to open the trunk.
There is no keyhole, and i cant find the trunk realese in the car??
Maybee Enterprize rigged the car so i cant use the trunk?

A little different than exterior looks, but I think all of the Chevy/GMC/Pontiac interiors are all the same.

Yup...there's little difference between a Cavalier and Corvette's interior.

Ford is the same. The Mustang has that same POS Taurus interior. YUCK

I agree . I think a lot of it has to do with saving money . They are trying to reuse too many parts form sister cars. Hence they all sort of look the same. It sucks. It was much icer when they all didnt look the same.

that is the main reason I dont like the vette. Got the same interior as the sunfire . POS!!!!

Parts bin sharing! Take a close look at the Durango tail lights. They are the exact same ones used on the 96-00 Minivans.

What you have to do is unlock it from the inside, and where the handle is there is a sensor/button that you put your hand on and it pops open the trunk.

Also, if you look under where then handle is, there is a keyhole that you can unlock with.

The air conditioning knobs in my Viper are the same part # as the ones in a Neon- I installed brushed aluminum ones.....that interior needs all the help it can get.

Give the Corvette a little credit....the dual zone A/C looks great, sport seats are sweet, gauges are awesome, the radio is cheese though....little too much plastic, but the car is amazing for what it costs.
