Car and Driver TV last weekend

Did you guys see that episode on Sunday with the Corvette Z06, Acura NSX, BMW Z8? I was floored when they talked about people mistaking the Camaro Z28 for the NSX due to the similiar paint schemes in '93. Remember the black roofs and body colors. . .

I found that kind of odd too. I mean, so you have two cars that are red with a black roof. But that doesn't change the fact that the NSX is beautiful and the Camaro is.... well... a Camaro

I can say for certain that I've never even come close to mistaking one for the other...

If anything the NSX looks more like a 4th generation Corvette from a dead-on front view.

NSX has never looked anything like a Camaro.

The Crystler Seabring, on the other hand, actually looked VERY close to a convertible Camaro for a couple years there.

I saw it too, what a ridiculous statement....the Camaro looks like cheap, generic, GM crap. I think the front end view of the NSX looks more like a Lotus Esprit.

Yep, I used to mistake them all the time. I would try and catch up to them, to see if a race was possible, then I would realize it was a sebring conv. =)
