Does anyone else notice the resembelance to the Ferrari California
The 2012 front end looks an awful lot like the Ferrari California in my view. Headlights, grill shape, winglets with vents in the upper edge. It's not just me, is it?

I was excited for a second because I thought finally someone else noticed that the FR-S/BRZ side profile was identical to the California haha. I can see where your coming from with this though!

I agree with your comment. But then again look at the D type Jag, they are very similar,

The first time I saw the ferrari California, I made the same comment to my Fiancee.... The front end minus the grills on top, looks exactly the same!

The California is not your typical sleek and lean Ferrari... it's actually pretty bulbous and sits higher than usual.

The shape of the lights and the front "bumper" sections do bear a similarity.
tho that's about it I'd say.

The Ferrari California looks more like a Mazda RX-8 to me.

You mean to the "****box Soft Top For Softcocks"?
 F1 Driver Calls The Ferrari California A ****box Soft Top For Softcocks They were both designed by Donato Coco, so there probably is some similarity. |

I think a LOT of cars have that same open mouth/winglet look.
