Default 2014 Impala = Ford Taurus?

Is it just me or does it look like Chevy took a Ford Taurus, made a few slight changes, and slapped on some Chevy badges? Even the wheels look almost identical to the Ford.

Do all new cars have to look the same these days? Where is the originality??

I don't think they any more similar than say the 70 Impala and 70 Galaxie 500. The Impala has the muscular haunch of the late 60s/early 70s models and like the current Camaro, where to Taurus has straighter body lines. There are similarities in the headlights and long hood lines, but they are both full size sedans. To me, the wheels look the most similar.

It's definitaly better than it was in the 80s, IMO.
