Ever since the 8th-gen civic was launched, I've been told that Honda "nicked" the hidden door handles from Alfa-Romeo. Even experienced motor journalist's has claimed that from day one.
Is that really the truth? Personally I don't believe so. In fact, I rather think it is the other way round. Have a look at the pictures on the following links;

Have I got it all wrong or are people talking bulls**t to me??!
Actually, it was the manager at the local Honda dealership (NSX owner) that pointed this out for me. (otherwise I wouldn't knew)
Is it only because Honda is a non-European car maker they just couldn't invented it??
What's your opinion on this?!
