“Second and third place were BMW X3 SUVs. I wonder if those are actual X3s or tube frames with X3-like body panels just like the Racing Lancer”

Unlike the Racing Lancer which looks nothing like the production Lancer, BMW tried to make their racing X3, the BMW X3CC (Cross Country) resemble the production X3 (at least from the outside).

This is how the BMW X3CC looks like:

well, the gen2 was launched in 2003 way before the X6 and this car just came out recently.. likewise the 1series..

i wouldnt say copy, but cars all generally look alike nowadays.. there is no such thing as truly original design anymore. its just mixing and matching different design elements in a way that matches your corporate styling.

Tube frames for sure – both for the Lancer and BMW, clothed by composite body for strength and light weight.

The Lancer don’t like anything like the Lancer!
