Kia Tasman concept, Nissan Frontier?

[JoeCool6972]

Does anyone else think the new Kia Tasman concept looks like a Nissan Frontier? Could it actually be a Nissan rebadged like the Suzuki Equator and Mitsubishi Triton that we don't get in America?

I dunno, but it may just be a case of monkey-see-monkey-do. There was a point after the '19 Range Rovers emerged when suddenly everybody's SUV started looking like a Rover (and a lot of them still do). When the '22 Frontiers came out, consensus at our shop was that they looked like a bastardization of a Range Rover and a Ram 1500 (but nevertheless cool). So I'm kind of thinking you simply can't judge any books by any covers anymore.

I always thought the new Frontier looked like a ripoff of the new Silverado by the shape of the headlight and taillight lenses. And honestly it looks really similar to the 2005-2021 Frontier. It's not new at all, just a refresh. Kind of like the 98-2004 was a refresh of the old Hardbody.

Hmm, I'm 70, maybe I can convince someone to refresh my skeleton.

Everything old gets old again. What a concept!
