    Nobody mentioned the Corvette ? Theyve been borrowing Ferrari designs since day 1, the C1 were big fat US Barchettas, the C2 was a very nice original design, the C3 copied its profile from the 250GTO, the C4 looks like a link between the Daytona & the Maranello, the C5, well they dropped the ball there & copied Mazda, who knows what they were thinking then :) The C6 Ive heard looks a lot like a Maranello

    The NSX uses the same basic wedge shape of the ferrari 328's, but IMO doesn't look anything like any ferrari at all. It is a beautiful car and I love it.

    As for the next generation. It does have a lot of ferrari look to it. I would say more 360 than enzo. If only it had a 600HP v12 :(

    When the 1986.5 - 1988 Fiero GT (the fastback 6cyl version) was new I remember seeing a direct comparison between it and the Dino 246. The measurements and specs were remarkably similar. There are many angles on that car that look Ferrari-like, and it is often confused by non-car-people.

    Wasn't there a VW Karmann-Ghia that looked just like a Dino?

    Would you call this "stealing" a design, or "sharing" a design? Both are penned by Pininfarina. On top, the 1960 Ferrari 250GT Coupe. On bottom, the 1961 Lancia Flavia Coupe. Very similar, yes?

    Not sure I know how to post a picture on the new FChat, we will see what happens....
