Maybe the Goertz myths will slowly die...

I am a designer. Not of cars, but of machinery, and consumer goods, so maybe my eye sees things in a different way.

Maybe??

Yes, some of my points are general and obvious but I listed them anyhow. How about looking and commenting on the other points with an open mind instead of trying to pick apart the easy ones?

Take a look at the 2000GT Plan views. Squint if you have too. Does it have similar details as the S30. It's a bit uncanny. Lines that similar do not get concurrently engineered by happenstance.

Look at the door open view. Also look somewhat familiar to you S30 drivers?

To me it's obvious that Ferrari, Jaguar and Porsche, and a few other smaller marques had tons of influence on both designs, but the small details like the cowl, inspection lids, door panels, seat upholstery style seem to link these two by some sort of DNA. I am not trying to say that the S30 borrows all from the 2000GT, it could very well be otherwise for all I know. That's not even my point. My point is, there are uncanny details that strongly link the two. Especially in a ZG.

On somewhat of a side note:
