![]() Anybody else ever notice how the rear of Celica GT bears a very strong resemblence to to 99 and newer Stang? Even the GT emblem is nearly identical. Guess if you can't beat it, copy it!!

![]() Dude, maybe I'm outta line here since I'm not a Stanger but comparing ricey celicas to any muscle car, GT/Camaro is just plain wrong. I mean I can understand if you said a Supra or 300ZX. Those at least have the muscle to back it up but celica....blah!

![]() I was referring to the body lines and not to performance. Given that Stangs are such a hot seller, did Toyota purposely copy the sleek lines to boost sales? Point to ponder.

![]() A little, but if you look at it, it's already been determined that the Celica is 1/2 Cougar, and 1/2 Focus. Same with that little **** the Echo being a Focus and a Aspire.
Their new truck the Tundra is nothing but an F-150. Toyota has been copying everything Ford makes, then making minor revisions to it. Whatever. |

![]() Did you know the Tundra was going to be called the "T-150"? But Ford complained for obvious reasons.

![]() Very interesting. One would think that a strong resemblence would a violation/infringement upon copyright or design rights. On a different note they can keep on copying as long as they do not drop a motor that can open a can of whoopass on the new GT.

![]() 1. Its an attempt at a joke about Civics w/ Type R stickers.
2. I don't know. Why do you see Civics w/ Type R stickers (in the US)? |
