In the first episode of Cowboy Bebop, a futuristic coupe appears, resembling an odd cross between a 1997 Mercedes-Benz A-class (W168, pictured left), and a 2001 Renault Avantime (pictured right), especially with the interesting trunk shape and 2-door layout.  Interestingly, the anime aired in 1998, and the Aventime’s prototype wasn’t revealed until 1999, so which inspired which?

A 2011 Renault Wind briefly appears in season 2 episode 2 of The Looney Tunes Show. As an animated sitcom taking place in a typical North American neighborhood, it’s particularly odd to include a Wind, as Renault currently has no market there.

The sports car in the Looney Tunes short Rabid Rider has the general shape and detail of a late 70s Lamborghini Countach; however, the front end looks more inspired by a much newer model from Lamborghini, the 2014 Huracán.
