370 z has fooled me a few times!
 
when i'm out on the road i'm always trying to spot a frs or brz. sometimes when a 370z goes by i have to do a double take. something about the nose of it is so similar. i know they don't REALLY look that much a like, but on the road they've fooled me more than once.

It's okay, the other night I mistook Prius headlights for a Lambo. I lost my man card for that one. (It's hard to tell at night!)

lol. does anyone else see the resemblence to the 370?

pr086 07-11-2012 09:12 PM

if you think thats crazy the downward line in the rear corner panel that kind of squares off the rear makes me think of the GTR. anyone else get that?

Saw a GTR heading to the airport yesterday and had to do a double take. Similar at a quick glance but not much really

I see it more in the Tiburon.

Haha sorry. I don't think they look all that similar, but before I saw one in person and was looking for it constantly my eyes kept playing tricks on me at a distance with Tiburons.

DUDE YES! ALL THE TIME!!!

I think part of it is me simply wanting to see something that isn't there, BUT when I see one coming at me on the other side of the road, I always have to do a double-take! :confused0068:

If you think thats sad, im always mistaking sebrings for the goddamn BRZ -_-'

benoh 07-11-2012 09:58 PM

every single time i see one my first thought is "hey its a 370z, pretty nice"

upon closer inspection i realise it's am 86 and i just jump out of my seat in excitement!!

they're still a rare sight down here in australia! and i hope it remains that way until I get mine!

wallace03 07-11-2012 10:38 PM

i always think the new ford fusion is a WRX from behind.

I had someone ask me about my GTR, I laughed and said I wish I had that much money.

The first time I had to do a double take because I didn't know if it was an FR-S or the 370

would never mistake a frs or brz for one of those. the genesis coupe on the other hand.... definitely see the resemblance. i wouldn't like that feeling if i was driving a gen coupe. like i was driving a tiburon 2.0 or something haha.

The first Frs I saw actually driving was about 200 feet away from me and I thought it was a white lfa. Then it drove closer :o

Before I even knew what an FR-S was some months ago, I saw a white one driving near a dealership. At first glance I thought it was an LFA, realized it wasn't, and then was very confused.

LOL, no! There's a burnt orange one right down the street from me, maybe since I see it all the time I can't be fooled anymore? The damn thing doesn't even have space for fog lights, and the butt is... disturbing somehow. Never could figure out why exactly I don't like them.

michaelahess 07-12-2012 01:59 AM

BTW, some lady at a gas station came out and asked what year my BRZ was, I said 2013, she said "wow they look a lot different than mine!" I said, what do you drive? She said a WRX...

Took a few seconds to come up with a response to that one.

not going to lie, i prefer the 370z styling to the Toyota/Subaru

but satisfied non the less.
