|  Stolen Soltice Design!?
It might just be me, but doesn't this car look just like the 02 Solstice Coupe Concept?!
Apparently it's a Zagato Ferrari 575 GTZ Like an 05 or 06. 
Here's the solstice for comparison

I agree, the Solstice does look better. It's not my Bias either, I think those flares on the fender are goofy, and the rear sticks out just a tad too much. From the front, it looks like a newer (retro) Thunderbird heh. The Solstice's exhaust in that concept is a bit odd though.

they were both rip offs of the BMW Z4 Coupe which was a redone hatch version of the Z3 coupe with sharper edges and obviously more powerful, but both of which there were also hardtop concepts modelled after the Z3 for both cars mentioned above.

Wasn't the Z4 Coupe offered in like 2005, giving it a probably concept of 2004, or even 2003?
If so, then the Z4 is a ripoff of the Solstice, since it's concept debuted in 2002.

Yea, it's too bad they didn't keep it a coupe, or at least sell both. I think they learned their lesson a bit since I think they are releasing a coupe.

It must be the new Ferrari model for current porsche owners that can't afford a real ferrari like an F430 or F50 but still want the Ferrari badge for bragging rights so they can say they drive one ahahahahahahaha.

The Solstice looks better, except for the stacked exhaust tips, that looks retarded IMO, but the Ferrari's isn't too great either. Z4 coupes look really good to me!

Here's the solstice for comparison | Whoever put that exhaust pipe outlet in the middle of the bumper like that ought to be flogged. | |

You'd be surprised how many vehicles have that design. Most are side by side though.

We have a couple of those and the M Coupes here on the lot (I work at the BMW dealer here). They're pretty bad ass lookin', especially for a BMW. They made non-M Coupes and M Coupes of the Z3 model as well, but I don't know if the non-M Z3 Coupe was sold here in the states. I've never seen one. | |
