    I don't believe I have ever seen an original design from Japaneese car makers. They copy cat all the way no matter what brand you're talking about.

    When they see a great design, they copy it......the sincerest form of flattery.

    That's one of the better F50 kits I've seen. I can see why someone would want to do that, but it makes me sick. In fact, it borders on blasphemy!
    For the price of that thing, you could probably buy a half-decent used Ferrari, and have the real thing. No way would it be an F50, but at least it would be a Ferrari.

    When I saw the 350Z for the first time, I thought right away about how the design was heavily influenced by Porsche. Imitation is the highest form of flattery I suppose.

    Third-generation RX-7 was one of the most original designs I ever saw IMHO.

    I was thinking the same thing. Japan really has some nice performance cars in the realistic price braket.

    Yes, that's true. The RX-7 was a beautiful car, far ahead of its time in styling terms.

    The Miata was a trendsetting design, but the 350Z falls into the wannabe category.

    I think you mean mazda is working with ford. Sure it's a ford powerplant, but the tune is mazda. Also the rest of the car is all Japan. Although cars like the mazda 3 are close in more ways than the powerplant to the ford focus, the miata is a very mazda only car. Saying that the miata is a ford is like saying the elise is a toyota.

    Thanks Yargk.

    It is true that part of the Miata design originates in California, but to my knowledge there was no Ford involvement in the early days. The car is engineered and manufactured in Japan (at least mine was built in Japan).
