yes, i'm being anal. i am aware that parts are shared. i am aware that for example the 350z, altima, and pretty much every nissan/infiniti uses the same engine. but these aren't supercars. and noticed i said "parts so obvious." if they want to recycle a bolt or something of that nature that's fine. but headlights, turns signals, seats, those are things that define a car. yes, the turn signals are pretty insignificant in the larger scheme, but like i said, it shows to me that the car is a half ass supercar, that somwhere along the design instead of hiring a guy to design a unique, functional turn sign they just used it from the parts bin. tires from the same company is not the same thing. if ferrari uses bridgestone tires, that's fine. but like i said, if you stepped into a ferrari and you realize the seats were S2000 seats wouldn't you be like WTF, couldn't they design their own seats, or get some seats that's not in another car already. If the Diablo uses recycled headlights from a 300z, yea, I would think that it'd be less of a supercar/exotic than one that didn't. so yea, i'm being "anal" but that's just my opinion.
