Your not one of those people who thinks every car designed in Japan was
originally conceived there?   

What does the 350z remind you of when you see it?

What about the 80's version of the Celica?

They are all rehashed european cars...  that's not to say they aren't good 
cars, but Japan appears to take it's styling queues from Europe and build 
in a certain amount of reliability that the Europeans miss...

Sadly, it's been over 2 weeks since I started the VW, and today I cranked it
until the battery was running down... I'm a bit bummed, but hopefully it'll
start up tomorrow...
