`  ===response=== I was the one to use the word. I don't see how it's use can be a violation of WP:POV, as all instances of exterior design ``reuse`` are cited. I am saying, ``I didn't think they copied, someone else thought they copied and I am registering it.`` My small dictionary says the meaning of the word ape is to ``imitate the behavior or manner of, especially in an absurd or unthinkable way.`` In this instance, BYD Auto has imitated the manner of cars belong to other carmaker, and in a way unthinkable by most Japanese, European, American or Korean carmakers.  Other words that could have been used are: *copy: ``to make something to be similar or identical to another`` - this is a more apt term, but for stylistic reasons is not to be overused in the passage, that is ``don't use the same word twice``. *emulate: ``match or surpass, typically by imitation`` - not applicable *imitate: ``take or follow as a model/copy or simulate`` - not applicable because the cars copy too closely the exterior design of those other cars. This is why the word ``resemble`` is N/A, too. The cars do not imitate or resemble, they are the exterior designs of other carmakers. They don't take a design cue here and there, they take an entire front fascia.  *mimic: N/A because it has connotations of ``copying in order to annoy that which is being copied``   `
