Default New Viper SRT-10 looks a LOT like the S2000.

Take a look at the pictures on the Road and Track site at http://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/firstd...p?articleid=208

The front view and the side view pictures (on page 2 of the article) look an aweful lot like a slightly larger S2000. I guess they know a good design when they see it.

I see a little resemblance

Of course it's a dodge....

I stil think the S2000 is pretty unique.

Of course, some lady at the bank today accused me of owning a Miata.

She knew (upon my departure) that she was incorrect... and that it is an S2000 that I drive.

Can't see it to be honest, I think the front lamps are all that are similar, and becuase they are prominent in that picture that is why you probably "see" the resemblance. Also, the nose of the viper doesn't shrink in like our lovely S2000 (it cuts to 40% of the total body width).

I see it a little bit. It looks like the viper has an extra refector.

The front lights are very S2K looking. There are a bunch of cars that look like the S2K now

Funny you should mention this! Did you know that Dodge had a Japanese designer create this new style?

I see some resemblance.

As a second opinion, I asked my wife (she hates most American cars) and she thought the Viper looked pretty good, hmmm.

O.K. I now see it a little in the headlites with the comparison photos, but there are only so many diffenent ways to shape headlites effectively. Can Dodge help it if Honda beat them to it?!!?

it's more like the S2000 than the previous version -- wonder if this version will be worth a crap? -- the edmunds reviews of previous versions were not good.
