German inspiration for the new Skyline?

Looking at the pictures of the new Nissan Skyline yesterday something caught my eye...this reminds me of another car...ok now I get it, there is a slight but slight ressemblance with the Mercedes CLS!

Similar headlights shape, similar radiator grill, similar hood ? The sides are another reminder of the CLS.

But in other hands... this is maybe the best way to make sure to have a potential good seller on the market... Anyway... I am quite found of this Skyline, I am really looking forward to test it.
