I thought exactly the same thing.. 981 Cayman
There’s a bit of F-type in there too... rear window

Maybe that's why I like it.

Not sure I would choose red....

Agreed - lazy styling by Tesla. The front of a Honda attached to the back of a Porsche.

To my eye all of his vehicles are derivative and bland as well as overpriced. Once the "bright new thing" of Tesla has worn off I think he'll be eaten alive by Ford and GM. Latest Chevrolet Bolt from $37,500 is just the start. https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/bolt-ev

Never said it had copied anything - said the rear reminded me of the Cayman.

As does the rear 1/3rd in this shot:

It looks a lot like the Mazda MX5-RF to me.

Sheesh! Whats wrong with you?

You said it looks like a Cayman, cmoose disagrees.

This is a public forum, people have different views.

Cmoose is a legendary bellend. Tired of being polite about his posts. Thanks for telling me off tho. I'm afraid if you want me to be your bh instead, you will have to fight Cmoose for it. Prison rules, baby!

I can agree there is a bit of that in there too... truth is a lot of these cars look like each other these days - they all borrow one another styling cues or design signatures.. guess to some extent that was what Jeremy was pointing towards.

Wasn't so long ago that 991.1 were accused of trying to look like Aston Martins from the rear with the lights.. then the BMW i8 looked like it was giving birth to a 991.1 and then Merc proclaimed they had done the 911 rear end properly with the AMG GT.

I don't think it's a bad thing, btw - it just lept off the screen at me when I saw the pics. Good job I really like the 981 Cayman, isn't it! biggrin

Have you ever met him? I have and he is a lovely, personable chap.

Some people seem to get very wound up on this forum and there is simply no need for it.

I'm sure anyone who reads through this thread will come to the conclusion that it is YOU who is coming off as rather unhinged rather than cmoose.

Yep, agree with all of that.

As a side note, the AMG GT rear is quite lovely but I cant get over how long the bonnet is. The proportions of that car look skewed to me.

Ah, sorry honey. I apologise to you and your pal.

To be fair, I am being a little obtuse. My tolerance level for a couple of posters here, is quite low. I tend to bite much earlier than normal.

Edit - spelling
