I think that's why we like Z cars. They're original and never had to copy for validation.
Do you know your Z history? The 1970 240z was practically a replica of a 61 ferrari GT. When the 350z was designed. Nissan looked over the porsche 911 and used many engineering and styling cues for its design. The 370z looks like half 240z half cayman. The Z does a better job in design "integrity". But its still a copy non the least.
