Is It Just Me...
 
...or do the twins bear some resemblance to the original 240Z?

A little bit

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

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.

TStafford 04-23-2014 02:33 PM

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.

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.
