Just saw these pics and geez, on a broad level the side profile is certainly closest of all competitors in terms of resemblance to the HL. I know it is not exact when you start to look at the details, but the overall shape/profile and proportions immediately struck me as being very similar. Watta ya think?
I agree, I vote ripoff of the Highlander. There's another vehicle out there...can't think of it at the moment....that's made by another manufacturer and it's a smaller size version of the Highlander.

It's not bad. The front quarter panels remind me of a Mitsubishi. The rear indent of the chrome trim (at the rear quarter window) is less than desirable for me. Cargo area looks similar in size to a RAV 4. Don't care for that chrome trim piece along the bottom side. Slope of the roof looks like a rack eliminator for carrying a box, or long things.
Just looked at the rear end.....Fugly.
Front end grill mouth is leaning toward Audi SUV's..Fugly x 2

I don't know, thankfully I'm not seeing any HL in that mess!
The only similarity I see is that they both have black coloured pillars all the way through the side windows, kinda making it look like one big long window...
Other than the G35/37/37S/whatever number/letter combination they are calling it today I don't know what people see in Infiniti's. They just look so over the top and blob like.

I think for the most part they see an Infinity Moniker.

whats with the sloping rear roof starting after the B-Pillar. I don't understand why manufacturers do this. The RX-350 does the same thing. It severely limits the ability to hold cargo in the back as the height back there is so much shorter than the rest of the interior...
Besides that it reminds me of the Buick Enclave/any GM Lambda platform, not a fan
