Random observations of the day

Don't you think some segments from some of the songs played at Cadenza sounded rather familiar? Like the recurring cadence / chord sequence in Russian Sailors' Dance, or the windingly descending tune in the English variation from Global Variations.
[Follow-up 24 July: I think the former appeared in either Brahms' or Liszt's Czardas. Can't tell if the latter is supposed to be Scottish or English but it sounds somewhat similar to Brahm's St. Anthony Variations. Or am I hearing things here?]
Also, if you squint hard enough, or take off your glasses, the newest Lancer looks a bit like a Peugeot 607 from the rear.
