Lexus copy of Audi TT
I read this article on Friday and my first response was "blatant copy"....Japanese are never game enough to lead, they wait until someone else is daring, then imitate. In fact, the entire Lexus range are copies of established Euro vehicles. Mercedes nose on GS300, general Merc look of LS400, even BMW hints inthe IS200, now this......take it as envy and it won't be the last attempt by other car makers. In the TTs case, no one will ever be able to outdo the original, not even Audi with subsequent TT models.<ul><li><a href="http://www.drive.com.au/news/default.asp?section=news&page=http://drive.fairfax.com.au/content/19991015/news/news1.html">Oz article</a></li></ul>

What it that saying, "Imitation is the highest form of flatery?"
Looks like a TT to me.
"The rounded and slightly awkward styling suggested by these pictures indicates the hand of Sotiris Kovos, the Greek-born designer who also penned Toyota's Echo small car." Hasn't this writer ever seen a TT?<ul><li><a href="http://www.lexus.australia.as/2002_sc400.htm">http://www.lexus.australia.as/2002_sc400.htm</a</li></ul>
