Default so does the front of the new Z...

Its startling how they tend to simply cobble together design pieces from other manufacturers. The RX7 originally was a near perfect rip-off of a Porsche 924...looks like the styling simply mimics what a zillion other Japanese concept cars are doing right now.

Default i never noticed before

but yeah there are some similarities. the tail as well, with the clear covers.

i don't see the S2k and Z similarity, though.. i think the Z looks more like a TT was raped by a new celica.
