You circled the parts you believed were the "copies".

It's clear you think they are very similar.

Otherwise why post about it so many times?

Yeah, I do think the parts I circled are very similar. I posted it once, and people said it doesn't look similar, so I posted it again showing which parts look similar. If you don't think the circled parts look similar, then I think our eyes work differently.

Shocking! Coupes look like coupes!

Maybe all coupes look like the Honda Accord coupe.

Pass the pipe!

DBS is just a knock-off Accord Coupe design like the Mustang is.

Isn't all this sniping about perceived similarities (or lack thereof) between the new Mustang and the Accord coupe a little like arguing over seeing shapes in clouds? It's a matter of individual perception. To all that I say - meh.

Stop beating the subject into the ground. Srika sees similarities between the two cars. And?

I was referring more towards the 67-68 fastbacks. The one you posted is a 69. They stared to stretch out and morph into the Mach 1's, which I really didn't car for.

Actually, I think a "Shoplife" thread is a great idea. Gives members an opportunity to ask you questions about what it's like in the industry and etc.

Do it!

It'll be interesting to see how far to the performance side they go with it. Could make for some cool cars.

They will probably build something pretty cool down the line. We all know they know what they are doing unlike Acura.

I think they will get rid of R-Spec and replace it with N. Who knows though?

And yes, they did copy "M", even though they are saying it was from the Namyang factory they have in Korea. I don't really mind though. Just excited for the fact that they are in for making performance oriented models.

The FF is a big car. There's no doubt. But having walked around one in person, it's gorgeous. It's undoubtedly the nicest, best built car I've ever been in proximity to ...

It's too long for me (so is the F12) but I can see why they like it.
