Look at the shapes used, the way they interact.... completely different. The end result may look similar, but they aren't.
Of course it isn't a 100% copy. But it is close enough to where you go WTF was Toyota thinking?

Because there's a horizontal line? The G Sport and Camry SE don't look alike at all.

Yeah man to say they are an exact ripoff is hilarious!

I see where he's going with this! The square centered open grill and the side grills with horizontal splitters.

i standby what i said to be honest. and if it wasnt blatantly obvious i was refering to the styling on the front. shape of the headlights, grill, even the lower opening. just move the small vertical structures closer to the fog lights and there you have it.

I see similar characteristics at the most but just like the OP mentioned with the '12 Camry and FR-S. To say "almost an exact ripoff" is taking it way out of context.

2011 TSX with it's updated (thinner) grille makes it look a little more similar to the Camry. The headlight shape is close

Not to get all technical but I do agree, "little more similar" sounds right.

Both of these have round headlights and straight front bumper. I guess they look alike because they have two similar lines too.
