The new 997 looks like 350Z to, and it also looks a bit like a 996, and a volkswagen new beatle, especialy if the cab version if you catch it from the right angle. Whenever anyone comes out with a new design, all these "it looks like..." kinda drive me nuts. Sometimes its realy true, in this case, I think not. I can se the Panoz in the headlights, but how they flow with the rest of the hood is rather different.
Before (and if I ever) plunk down six figures for a car, it first better damn well not look like someone else's car. It should first have a look all its own - which this doesn't.

Best example I can think of re. original design for a new car: Lotus Elise.
