BRZ vs AM Vantage
I just noticed how much the BRZ resembles the Vantage. Am I smoking crack or does anyone else agree?

im pretty sure if you used the search, you would have found a thread about this from 2009. the second prototype was even more vantage looking if i am remembering correctly.

If anybody has a Vantage, I'll happily trade you for my FR-S.
The feel of the designs is pretty similar for the hindquarters, but the proportions are quite different, especially considering that one's a 2-seater and one's a 2+2. |

The FR-S is a sexy car either way, which makes me wonder why so many people spend so much money fucking it up.

I mean, they're vaguely similar, but the Vantage is in a whole different league of sexy. Sorry :\
Our cars aren't bad looking, but they're not that gorgeous. |

I have noticed this as well. The shoulders on the BRZ and the way the front bumper appears flat from the side all share a similar shape to the Aston. The chrome fender trim certainly helps a lot since the Aston has the same character line there.
