All designs bar a slight few folow trends... our 6gc's were an evolution of what the 3rd gen soarer/lexus SC's started, and thats what toyota tells us... if you look at most cars, they all steal certain elements from "hot at the time" cars... its called modern design. If you expect fresh and new 100% of the time, we would live in an abstract artist's world rolleyes.gif that said, look at the Tiburon in a honest perspective- first gen pre facelif models were VERY well designed cars- yes the window line from the side looks like a 5th gen liftback, but the car oozed sexy curves everywhere you looked. The facelift model tried to add unneeded masculinity in my opinion, and it wasnt nearly as sucessful imo... the current tiburons were designed after the late ferarri 456 GT, and NOT, as belived by popular consensus, designed by the same person (AKA Pinninfarina studios), and they are very sexy cars for the money you have to spend... if you disagree point me to somthing equivalant in terms of design for 20G... dont hate on the Koreans for "selling out"... The japanese did the exact same thing 30 years ago in most peoples eyes and now they practically rule the automotive world. The Koreans are already on the fast track to becoming just as huge, and if what is going on in now time, they just might scare the japanese more than they would like to admit...
