I think alot of cars have similarities to eachother these days, Hatches most in particular. It wouldn't be easy designing a hatchback from scratch being 100% original all the way through.
Whatever the story may be, if Hyundai were first.
I see my CRX in my CRZ, while others unfamiliar with the Generation 1 and Generation 2 CRX see the Hyundai Veloster. Which is understandable.
