Those tailights look like they could just have the outer corner lopped from the basic BA design, and i'd agree the design is very Audi-esque. I believe it was an ex Audi guy who was responsible for the rear end of BA, and IIRC theyre still part of the design team.

Since we've seen the headlights, and they're definitely not Ford NA style, the only other thing that could resemble the US design language would be the three bar grille - which wouldn't work in our hot climate anyway. So for now, I'm predicting zero US design influence.
An insider on FAF said that the rear lights kink down on the outsides, or something along those lines. Not quite sure what he means by that.
