Is It Just Me...
 

...or do the twins bear some resemblance to the original 240Z?

Kinda.... but back then these sports car kinda looked the same.

Check out the 2000GT

Pretty standard small FR coupe look

A little bit

I'm not really seeing any resemblance other than the fact that they're both sporty cars.

It's not just you. Check out this article: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/the...-408769384/all

The 240Z is exactly what came to mind when I test drove it. Of course I don't think I've ever seen and certainly never driven the 2000GT, which is definitely more influential from the Toyota perspective.


But for me - it is the modern 240Z.

No way, the wheels are totally different.

The only resemblance with the 240 I see is the rear fender.

Well I always liked the old 240Zs too!

Pretty much anyone that sees the pointy end of the side windows and/or somewhat bulging quarter panels automatically think it looks like a 86.

How about this instead?:

I dont mind driving a car that cost 1/6 as much as that one but looks just as good !

The ft-86s look like a 2000gt, purposely.

:word:

Lol you sound like an MR2 owner:

Much more like the porsche 944 if you ask me

I think the general lines are similar to a Jaguar F-type coupe.

Not just you:

If in 2006 when I bought my first 240Z I had known the FRS was going to be showing up, I would have held off and bought the FRS instead. It's everything the old Zs are, but with the knowledge that when you hit the ignition, the damn thing is going to start and idle guaranteed (It also has a working rear defroster and dash clock :D)

Me and a couple friends were talking about this the other day. Ironically, I think the twins look more like the 240z than the 370z.

it's not just you. i feel the same way and actually wrote a comparison here:

You guys are way off.. out looks more like this onehttp://genometuning.com/images/spocom2012/frs_8.jpghttp://drawninandquartered.files.wor...-campervan.jpg

I own both, and completely agree.

I still get a lump in my throat whenever I see a 240Z. Mine was #9248.

And I know the 86 was styled with a nod to the 2000GT but when I sit in it, ...yeah, it's a Z.
