Then google 1955 porsche 550 spyder and you will see all the image with the same taillights.
Oh, and that
http://www.autowallpaper.de/Wallpape...arrera_003.jpg is just paint detail, right? not the taillight shape. I think it is common for people to do those paint detail at the back like that:

You could be right, or you could be wrong. But it's a bit pushing it. Sorry if I come across confrontational aout this subject, but it bugs me when it is suggested that the design of the 350Z was taken from Porsche.
But getting back to the original Poster's subject. I do believe the 350Z is a great design. I think the lines will stay mordern for at least 10 years(starting from 2003). When I walk towards the 350Z, I get a big smile on my face. I love my decision on getting this car over other cars I was deciding on.

I get the same feeling everytime I approach my car in the garage. If looks could kill, the Z would be illegal!

more likely the Pontiac Solstice is trying to borrow the tail light design from the Z.
Agree with you Sven...
I keep telling myself, I'm going to get tired of this car's design but I've never quite had such a relationship with another car under my roof.
Some days, I'll just stand in the garage and look at it. I've had it for 2 years now and I still marvel at it's lines. After a wash and wax, it's like renewing your wedding vows.
None of the lines on the car is imposing, it just flows so smoothly. When you take a step back and look at it all together, the actual car is pretty imposing itself.
This is something none of the photos have managed to capture, something you have to appreciate in person. I didn't like the car's design but fell in love when I saw it in person. Decades will pass, depreciation will settle, and better motors will be introduced to the auto market, but I think I'll continue to appreciate the lines and profile of this car.
