Nissan looked over the porsche 911 and used many engineering and styling cues for its design. The 370z looks like half 240z half cayman. The Z does a better job in design "integrity". But its still a copy non the least.
Actually 370Z looks like in many angles like 911 997 Turbo. Rear wheel arches are really similar. But it still has its own of design. Btw: do you remember TV series Viper? Transformed Dodge Viper to that supercar has two teeth in front fang too.
But I still love it!

Yeaah I remember that show. It was corny but fun. way better than knight rider 2000 remember that one with 4 different KITT style cars. Lol.

You're right the 370z does take on 997 cues as well but that's my point. Yes its true that the Z stands out more as a unique vehicle. But I would credit that to the 2 seat coupe market being rare and niché. (Roadsters EXCLUDED). That being said. I prefer my Z over any car in the price range and cars up to 20k above. I haven't found anything worth trading up to that isn't at least 70k. But the Z is still taking cues from cars... awesome and expensive ones but still taking cues.
