Yes, there is a strong resemblance! Here's a high rez gallery at ABG:

It looks like the the rear passenger doors might be suicide (they lack a visible handle).

The one visual thing I could do without, is the "pincers" look of the headlights and the hood:


In addition to the front cabin air intakes, it appears to have rear exhaust grills!

The geometric sunroof is ... different. Maybe it will make sense, if it adds to the structure, but lets the inside be "airier"?

I also really like the mesh seats -- they make more room in the inside, and I'm sure they are cooler in the summer.
