Hi All,
I had gone on an exotic car rally a few months back, where there were many Ferraris. One of the guys mentioned to me that the NSX was originally a design by Ferrari back in 1986, called the Ferrari 408 Integrale. It was then copied by Subaru, and then by Honda. Someone even suggested that Honda copied the Subaru XT design, rather than the Ferrari Integrale design.
Here is a pic of the Ferrari...

Are they speculating, or is this true?
I can understand that Honda was looking at all types of designs from many manufacturers, but it was implied that the Integrale was THE style that Honda used. However, when I look at the picture, I find this hard to believe, since I would never own a car that looks like that.
If this statement is true about the Ferrari styling, then all of these discussions about "souls" in cars will need to be taken to another level.
