A funny thing happened as my colleagues and I walked past the BYD display. One of the cars the company was showing--the F6DM--was basically cut in half to show its dual-mode (hence, the initials “DM”) hybrid technology. What it also showed, however, was the car’s interior details. Several caught our attention and left us scratching our heads. Somehow, this new Chinese car’s interior looked familiar.

Take a look at the photos and let us know what you see. Any of the design cues remind you of anything? Use the Comments feature, below, and give us your best guess.
