I considered that, but the Ford S-Type is recognized by its from front fascia. The Toyota Altezza is recognized by its rear. This is from the viewpoint of a non-enthusiast All styling is superficial, what's your point
Well, I just got the impression of your implication that b/c a taillight or headlight etc. is a car's main styling feature that it should not be ripped off onto another car. My point was that that "main styling feature" is based upon the eye of the beholder.

Originally posted by 02RSXTYPES The S-Type taillight IMO is just merely a different design on the 5th gen taillight...no passerby will recognize it and shout Jaguar taillight! Maybe an enthusiast, but that is doubtful. On the other hand, the altezzas are not only played out (I've seen far too many on F-150's), people recognize them as rip-offs.[/QUOTE
I agree, BUT first off, S-types are one of the newer(not newest) types out there, I think we need to give them more time like the altezzas have had until we can judge whether people start shouting "Jaguar taillights!" or not.
