In before someone copies this thread (the lock).

Ugh look at the blatant forgery that Ferrari has done shaping the 250 GTO like the Z. So obvious they copied the wide flares, fastback, and long hood.

Profile:

Rear:
2000 911 Turbo

Front:
Honda S2000

Uh that's excatly what I said - those are parts from different cars - styling cues - not very close copies from most angles.....

fyi

FricFrac · 10-04-2011, 10:05 PM

Focus.... I'm talking a whole entire car that looks very very similar to the 370Z. Not just styling cues. You can compare every friggin car ever made with styling cues from any other car.....

Right because there were no 370Z concepts before 2009 right?

No official concepts made public by Nissan before 2007 when the Toyota concept was unveiled.

I'm totally forgetting about the time machine, though. That's how all of those pre-2009 concepts copied the 370.
