Let's post up as many clones as possible. What are we asking about? Not the vehicles like DSM's or Plymouth/dodge neon, or that. I'm talking about cars (and I guess trucks....) that look identical, yet share absolute nothing as far manufacturing goes. To give you a for instance: The Mitsubishi FTO

And the Pontiac sunfire

God damn pic of the sunfire won't work... Frustrating.

Anyways, post pics. Good luck trying.

Since the OP is into old Toyota's, how about this generation of Corolla liftback:

which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Volvo 1800ES:

Here are some rather fabricated similarities.
Both have 4 tires and a roof

Toyota made a pretty good replica of the X1/9 right down to the three spoke wheels

That's hilarious! I can't believe they tried to pass that turd off as benz quality. Was it a joke?

In conjunction with a mid to late 70s Corolla, then you win.

If it were a series 2 E-type it would be a closer comparison visually.

I'm fairly certain that they are more than just similar looking, check out the new Disco vs the Explorer. I seem to recall one of the FoMoCo employees here mentioning that supplying parts to RR/LR/Jag was turning out to be much more profitable than actually building them.
