Laugh out loud! In my painting class this semester in university, the professor got each student to paint an exact replica of a historical painting as close as possible.
"It's not Plagiarizing", she said. "It's nearly impossible to plagiarize an artwork. Look at Warhol's 'Four Mona Lisas' and Marcel Duchamp's 'L.H.O.O.Q.'. They've capitalized on 'copying' other's work. If you were truely plagiarizing, you should consider a career in making fraud art pieces".
As long as Honda didn't literally take the Intrepid concept car and place a Honda badge on it, they're ok. Any company can take the idea of a previous work and make their own version of it.
