It doesn't bother me.

If a company designs and engineers different cars, there are bound to be similarities. For example, if you look at Volkswagen AG's cars, you will often find these similarities all over the place. Compare an A8 with a Flying Spur. Or a Touareg with a Cayenne. Even Lamborghini's exhibit a few instances of Volkswagen's design style.

Now, it is certainly true that there are resemblances in the design of the Acura RL and the Honda Accord. In fact, there are resemblances throughout Honda's products. However, to say that they are too similar is absurd. Take a look at the pictures:





They are both large sedans made by Honda, hence the similarities. But the interiors are not similar enough to say they are 'the same'.
