Honestly car design trends tend never to be “that” original. I can almost guarantee that nobody in VW had a Chrysler 200 sketch on their board saying “hey let’s knock off this fleet vehicle!”
The coupe like window line has been a big trend in sedans, the grille shape is still typical VW, and the surfacing around the lower grille has been used by a million people
While some of the character lines are similar, I’d argue a lot of the surfacing on my 3 series isn’t that far off either.
It’s also worth noting how much execution makes a difference. The CC is a gorgeous vehicle, sleek, well proportioned, feels like a proper sports sedan. The 200 manages to feel like 1 set of wood paneling away from something Clark Griswold would drive.
