Did Rinspeed lift one from 'Hamara Maruti' ?

Came across the rear lights on the new Rinspeed BamBoo and found an uncanny similarity to the rear lights on the Dzire.

What say ?

It's an aftermarket Suzuki Swift taillamp.

Dzire lights where? My eyes are filled with something else.

Also the front light looks like it's taken from the Mini Cooper.

Had the same exact doubt when I saw the image yesterday on engadget (without the distraction). Looked closer to see if it was a swift but the B pillar was completely different.

If engadget had put the above photo shown by rg_chn, I wouldn't caught the tail lamp and wondered !

No big deal here. Even the ORVMs are from the G-Class,I guess. Its a known fact that these small companies raid other manufacturers' parts bins!

Dont ya guys think even basic design of Swift is a copy of Mini?
