Celica: When you're best isn't enough, plagarize.


1973 Celica GT. Anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance to a '68 Camaro RS?



Celica GT: Re-plagarized for 1977; this time off the timeless fastback GT!

The 1970 Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO MR is a classic styling rip off...



BTW, I predict one of the resident Toyota defenders here will post a photo of some modern-day GM car like a Cobalt or Impala and compare it to a Toyohondassan. Just wait!

It'd be nice if the domestics still had designs worth stealing.

Everybody copies everybody else from time to time. The front of the new Suburbans have a strong resemblence to the front of the F-150s. Big deal.

They're very different vehicles, and the Honda doesn't really share many design cues.

Youve gotta admit, Admiral, the Ridgeline is a blatant Avalanche ripoff.
