Imitation or flattery?

Quote from Doc&Ruby

Anybody notice how some new automotive front end designs are getting more "slingshotty"?
This is the new top-o-the-line Camry (still too many wheels! ). But Toyota is not the only one doing this!

That damn near looks like copyright infringement...

People are still freaking out about the way the SS looks...

I parked in the hospital parking lot yesterday....a lady comes up out of the blue....I just love that can I take a picture? I told her to get in and I’d take her picture....she went crazy...got out and gave me a big hug and a thank you...made her day and mine too.

Who knows?

Different concept of the trout mouth grill work?

Yeah, it's (the Camry) really just blending in more with their Lexus design... That hourglass grill...

Agree, Toyota is mirroring the Lexus look. I don't really see the similarity to the SS though.

For the record, I love my big hourglass front end.

I see it in this Lexus also.... and @2W2X1 it's the body lines coming down from the closest points in the grill resembling the mustache on the SS. I don't notice it in the pics you posted of the white one, but this one shows it pretty pronounced IMHO.

I think the lower ends connecting to the body, upper portion is what is keeping me from seeing a SS front end.

Maybe is if was more like this?
