In which case I would be tempted to say that is on you, for having a good knowledge of those older cars and not the more modern ones.
I think that the newer cars now are more easily identifiable than cars were ten and twenty years ago, back when all the badge engineering crap was going down. I can tell 2017 Chevrolets from Fords from Toyotas better than I can for 2002 Chevrolets and Fords and Toyotas. --- Post updated --- That's not to say they look better, though.
This doesn't look bad with Enkei RPF1's either. It's at least a lot better than most of the Commodores of the same era with massive 22inch wheels with crazy low-profile tyres, or the summernats fitment with chopped suspension and burners in the rear and massive wheels in the front.
I have a VT myself & it has factory wheels on it, the only other wheels I would ever put on it are other genuine Holden or HSV wheels. I kinda prefer old Commodores to have a more factory look. I really love the colours on the VF, I personally love Jungle Green & Orange Blast Metallic Also Morpheus purple from the VE looks awesome on the VF
My video of the accident at school is now unlisted because they're trying to take the 4runner kid's parking pass and I don't want administration to get ahold of the video.
I read it in an magazine a few days ago myself. Some sources i managed to find: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...s/a33307/nissan-nismo-r32-skyline-gt-r-parts/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyLine/comments/67g2kh/nismo_heritage_parts_program_reproducing_out_of/
Erm, they are each pretty distinctive if you ask me, the Studebaker and the Chevy I can see but the Ford is way different. The Ford has a very thin front grille while the other two have giant wide grilles, the Chevy has the front wing reaching along the body quite a long way, while the Ford cuts it off right away. The Chevy and studebaker also have some pretty big differences in the grille design, with the Chevy having the trademark 3 large metal bars running down the front vs just a wire mesh. Where as in the case of the Range Rover/Evoque thing and the Explorer you are looking at light shapes and maybe the roof line at most, If it wasn't for the badging it wouldn't be hard to confuse the two at all as they don't have any typical trademarks of the brand. Like the current Range Rover has the 3 slats on the wing and the same grille design they have used for years.
I would agree that Ford has used some of the Range Rovers styling queue's. This is most likely to try and make the Explorer look more like a premium SUV. However I would still maintain that they are both easy to identify. I had no issues spotting that the image had a Range Rover in rather than a Ford. For comparison both cars have some pretty large differences in their design that differentiate them. Even if they do borrow ideas (which all cars from all time periods do) Not to mention the differences in size. Evoque = 4.3m Long, 1.9m Wide, 1.64m Tall Explorer = 5.0m Long, 2.1m Wide, 1.78m Tall
Mmmh new car Modern cars are really hard to identify when its dark and you only have the lights visible. So you dont now if its a vw or a kia and so on
