Now maybe its just me, but to me, the new Viper front end just looks a bit too much like the S2000 front end. Especially the lights. Do you think the Dodge engineers took some design queues from the kids at Honda?!? D

For a while, I thought it was just me. Glad to see others can see the resemblance.

Any more comments...... or other pics of Viper-esk S2000's.

The guys over at the Viper forum saw this similarity from minute 1. Some don't mind it but quite a few hate it. They have been referring to their newest Viper as the "S2000".

Not so much the Viper, but DEFINITLY the RX8. Photo's comparing the two are available in a previous thread. Try a search and you should have some success.

Like Dave said, the similarities are so glaring, that people have mentioned it from the get go. Several mag reviews I read of the new Viper also allude to the front end similarities with the S. Not surprising is it? The S2000 is a handsome car
