Talking Body lines of Toyota Matrix and the Scion xA

I noticed this the other day. I was in the car with my dad at a stop light and on the other side there was a Toyota Matrix and a Scion xA sitting right next to each other waiting for the light to turn green. It then hit me.... they have nearly identical body lines! Just that the xA's body lines raise up in the back, they have lots of similar body lines. Another factor that convinced me to post this, is that Scion = New product line from Toyota, so could they have possibly had the same dude working on each cars for the body lines in the desing process? Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this yet.

Yes, i know they're the same company... Toyota makes Scion and Lexus. So, back to the start again..... has anybody else noticed the similiarities?
