D,

True.  It does look like an RX-8 until the back, which is all Aston.  I'll
take even 15% AM over 100% Japanese in my Italian exotics. :-)

I wrote about the Granturismo:

>note especially the purely cosmetic C-pillar flying buttresses.  If it
weren't for those, it'd look like a C5 Corvette fixed-head Coupe.

Lee responded:

>Dennis, true.  But I actually think the 599 is a dead ringer for the
departed Toyota Supra turbo.  And if you're going to have your car be a
knock off, I'd rather it be a knock off of an Aston than a Toyota.

===================

Yeah, except that you snipped out the other thing I wrote about the Maserati
- the profile is EXACTLY like the Mazda RX-8!

Vty,
