<p>Thanks for the link, Bruce. Interesting timing. This
morning I was rereading a 2007 article about the Toyota
Celica Supra: "To the untrained eye the first Supra looked
like a Celica--<b><i>and nothing kills status faster than
resembling a downmarket model</i></b>". Three years
later, Toyota changed the sheetmetal for the next
generation Supra to differentiate it from the Celica. I
thought of the visual similarities between the Tiger and
the Alpine;Â That was also mentioned in the clip you
found. I guess that lack of differentiation was a problem
for Rootes. Not sure why it worked for AC though, since
the first Cobras looked like the Ace. If anybody wants to
weigh-in on why it worked for AC, I'd appreciate your
thoughts.</p>
