Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Not only did Hyundai use 4 wheels, just like the Rolls, they're all black.
Leading evidence: 'Use 4 wheels, just like the rolls, they're all black' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use 4 wheels, just like the rolls, they're all black' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The similarity between the front end in particular of a 360 Farrari and a 996 Porsche is just not funny. The BHP is though. I was watching a race on Top Gear which prompted me to remark on the similarity. What dyawl think?
The hood line is different, the headlights (obviously) are different, the dimensions of the air intakes are completely different, the shape of the hood falling away from the windshield is different. The Ferrari bumper is flatter than the Porsche (vertically); the Ferrari has two obvious lines along the front edge of the bumper where the 996 has none. The central intakes are completely different, both in size and geometry. The hood contour - from back to front - is totally different.
But they are both red. And they both include a picture of a horse.
I think if you look at any cloud long enough, you will see a puppy. Or a goat. Or whatever it is you're hoping to see.
I also believe I would prefer (as a pedestrian) to be hit by the Porsche - it looks like it might hurt somewhat less than the Ferrari.
Oh, and you can't see the Ferrari's hood latch hardware when the hood is closed - that's an eyesore on Porsche's part that I never understood. "Hey, let's make that hideous red thing visible, even with the hood is closed!"
I think the tatooist may have somehow nicked your frontal lobe.
It is funny that any other new non-911 Porsche is starting to go more more to the teardrop headlight. Not at all saying they hit the nail on the head with the first gen 996, but the second gen lights seem to be coming back in style.
I think it looks more like a Cayman than a 996.
Really? It might need adjustment as mine is hidden when closed. Only when you click on the open button do you see the red latch.
I don't see it. I see the little elements you're alluding to but I don't think, in aggregate, they create vehicles that resemble one another. The overall shape of the car is completely different. The 996 is compact in all of its proportions -- just as 911s always have been. The Ferrari is low and wide. The shape of the headlights is different. In person, the fender bulges leading into the 996's headlights apes that of older 911s. They are far more pronounced in person on the 996 than in the picture. The 360's is more creased and flat and doesn't evoke the same shape. And, big intakes have been a design element on sporty cars for a while now...even sedans.

It's nothing worth getting worked up about.

Wow, the more you look, the more examples you find. Not only did Hyundai use 4 wheels, just like the Rolls, they're all black. It's also white, and there's ALSO shiny trim.
I was going to post up a Chrysler 300 next to a Bentley, but I got bored.
Your "Platinum Player" picture reminds me of the Panamera I saw at Home Depot with massive baller wheels. They must have been at least 23's, maybe 24's. This is not that car, but apparently 24's and up on Panameras is now a thing:
I'm not sure why the owner wanted wheels that look like a bunch of corndogs arranged in a circle, but whatever...maybe he's a Hotdog on a Stick franchisee.

On my posting I forgot to say "they look similar during the night when you are wearing shades, one eye closed, standing on the pavement when the cars drive passed at 150mph or above" lol
Hey, where do I get me some of those corn dog wheels for my 996TT? If only I could get some of them, then I bet the guys on the Turbo forum would really like me.

I'm all for customizing but what happened to taste?!?
Who in their right mind has those installed, steps away from the car and thinks, "Damn I made the right choice as those wheels look GREAT!"????
Hey, easy. It took Chevy's designers almost a full week to cut out pictures of all the supercars they like and put them together to form the C7. The roundy scissors slowed them down, but Chevy learned their lesson about allowing the designers to have pointy things...several of them lost their eyesight during the SSR design process and they didn't have time to start over again...resulting in this beaut:
In case you're interested, the SSR is a tribute car to the Tucker Torpedo and a yellow peanut M&M.
Well we really can't talk as to a non-enthusiast our cars have remained the same for 50 years.
I have a friend who is a Porsche hater and jokes that the designers at Porsche must have the easiest job around as all they do is tweak one thing and call it a new model. I disagree of course but he doesn't want to hear any of it and shows me photos like this one:
^ Doesn't your friend realize that a 993 and a 996 look ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ALIKE! Just go ask the boys in the lawnmower-engined forum. The 993 is the ultimate expression of artistic flowing lines that were created evah-so-perfectly. The 996 is a complete abomination. If they can take a break from their fight club activities arguing over what type of bran keeps them the most regular, they'll tell you all about it:
