No originality...It may be a wicked little car, but the styling has been stolen from every auto maker around. Sorry, but it's quite obvious.
Hmm... Haven't automakers been copying each other for centuries? The NSX is like a mini Ferrari, S2000 a Z3/Porcshe, Eclipse/Cougar/Celica are very reminiscent of the Lotus and Fiero. With the new Camry looking like the European Peugeot with a Renault rear end. There are many ideas utilized to create a vehicles looks. If anything, With the new Aero improvements, everything will eventually start looking the same. Even all the older American built cars carried some of these resemblence from all of each other.
At the end it really comes down to preference and the goal of your vehicle. I agree with LS1, is it for the power, the looks, or the control. the only way to have it all is a lot of money. I like the Z because it's somewhere in the middle.
