It's called family continuity.
Errr... which car, other than the F50 and Enzo, of course, has copied so heavily the design of the F40 :roll:
I don't think it is copying the bigger car or stealing styling cues from the bigger car. Like I said I see it as part of the family, they look alike. So yeah, there definitely cues from the Enzo, maybe that's how they wanna carry their design theme into the next generation of cars.

People don't bash MB for making the C almost exactly like the S.

Just as last generation's 5 series (E39) was almost exactly like a down sized 7 Series (E38).

By the way, I think this new car, what ever it is, 420, looks GREAT!!!
