Default Preludes look like Skylines and Fusions look like Preludes ?

I stumbled upon this a while back. The similarities between the R34 Skyline and the BB6 Prelude is noticeable around the roof, windows, and trunk area. Here are some pictures, you guys be the judge. If I am not mistaken the R34 Skyline came out in 1998 or 1999. The BB6 Prelude came out in 1996 (Japan).

But it doesn't stop there. Here is the Ford Fusion. Look at the front end of this car and the rear of the car. The front end looks like a 5th gen prelude and the the rear looks like 4th gen prelude. The name "Fusion" seems a little bit coincidental lol.

The whole roof on the R34 is fairly similar, but it pretty much ends there...

^ Yea but its also the proportions. Look at the nose of the prelude in comparison to the trunk. Also look at the placement of the jdm sidemarkers (fender) on the prelude. Its in almost the exact same spot on the Skyline.

Here is a picture we can all lol at

one of my former co workers (never owned a honda but liked fords) had bought his fusion because of your prelude theories. there's also a skyline conversioned everything on the 5th gen prelude here in sacramento. i thought it was real from looking at it up close! but then again i'm no nissan freak.
