<p>Thanks for the link, Bruce. Interesting timing. This morning I
was rereading a 2007 article about the Toyota Celica Supra: "To
the untrained eye the first Supra looked like a Celica--<b><i>and
nothing kills status faster than resembling a downmarket model</i></b>".
Three years later, Toyota changed the sheetmetal for the next
generation Supra to differentiate it from the Celica. I thought
of the visual similarities between the Tiger and the Alpine; That
was also mentioned in the clip you found. I guess that lack of
differentiation was a problem for Rootes. Not sure why it worked
for AC though, since the first Cobras looked like the Ace. If
anybody wants to weigh-in on why it worked for AC, I'd appreciate
your thoughts.</p>
<p>Best Regards</p>
