marc_p Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I can't believe with my love of Corvettes I have never noticed the similarity before, maybe it's beacuse I don't like the late '80s/early 90's Corvettes so I never really studied them but christ you can't help but think that someone had a Corvette when they were designing the Supra: http://cdn.images.pistonheads.com/aimg/3365/3365207-6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 hmmm, even the steering wheel looks similar to a facelift one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Crazy! It does look pretty close the the Supra one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Crazy! It does look pretty close the the Supra one. I know, look at the top passenger glove box aswell, the more I study it, the more I think it was copied from Chevrolet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You're definately onto something Marc Toyota did a much better job though, and at least they didn't copy the seats (they ripped those off from Porsche ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Does look close!lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 WOW there is one hell of a similarity there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 does look kind of the same as in the way the dash wraps round the driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA28 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Saab dashboards are also very similar in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Saab dashboards are also very similar in my opinion Really? I've never seen anything as square and flat looking as a Saab. The Vette looks very similar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vette looks very similar though. kinda..... http://images.usedcheapcars.org/used-saab/2007-saab-9-5-2-3t-sportcombi-at/ag_07saab95_interior-ucc.jpg Its just the curve around the drivers side that resembles it nothing else. Nothing compared to the vette though. Edited February 23, 2012 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look nothing like the sup to me. They are about as comparible as my mondeo is Those Saab dashes are the worst fitted to any car IMO, they all need burning! Always let the car down IMO. I remember my mate's Dad got a brand spanking new Aero YEARS ago (I had just passed my test IIRC) and I was drooling all round the car. It was black and looked absolutely stunning, black soft top also. Got into the car to spot the wood effect flat boring dash and was so disappointed. The seats were lovely too.

Scott Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 you are right. Like I said the only similarity I can see is the curve around the drivers side. If you close you're eyes it's almost exactly like a sup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 WOW your right! Come to think of it I saw a Ford KA the other day and that looked similar to a Supra, I took a picture of it, what do you think- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main gripe is the air vents. Kind of ironic that they're referred to as the 'waffle' type, when they have the consistency of a waffle When they fall apart (which they do as soon as you remove it from the dash) you end up with approximately 40 components in your lap. This either results in hours of lining it all up again properly, or, god forbid you loose a part, a £300 bill for a new one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
