Evora Styling - Borrowing from Bertone? Who Else?

Does anyone else see a resemblance in the styling of Bertone's Lancia Stratos and the Lotus Evora? Look at the wrap around windshield and side window lines.

Does anyone else see hints of other design firms' work in the Evora?

Yes, I saw a reference to that in a prior thread. Very similar.

Some have mentioned it looks similar to the Artega GT:
Artega GT - Supercars.net


Also, one of the video on the Evora's site discusses how they developed the design:

I don't see the Lancia at all, but the resemblance to the Artega is pretty strong, especially from the side.
