RE: The 2008 Toyota Ram?
uh....ford and chevy did the same...and from 93-present they kept the semi design in tact. Dont quite see the argument but ford did the most copying. And the current yota doesnt have lights seperating w/ the fenders...it has the flat nosed look and the raised center hood...or so the yota next door has. It still has flaired out fenders but not like that one. If they wanna copy somebody and it be legit.......I guess they could use the "we took our look from a semi" arguement.... But we see different
. If it werent for the auto economy jumping around so much lately it prolly wouldnt come to a copy-cat war between automakers.

I don't know how we got to Semi designs etc... it doesn't matter... If you compare this truck to a Ram... You wonder WTF? It doesn't mirror the Ford or Chevy... They never have had the fist shape like Dodge has...
And it's not just the fist shape that mirrors the Ram... It's the side Badge, the fog lights, the head lights, the line on the bumper, the ring around the grill, adding 20 inch wheels, introducing 5.7L and 4.7L engines...
Who cares what companies base their designs off of. The fact is, this isn't just a basic design that was taken.

The whole fist shaped front end is not exclusive to Dodge. Ford has used it. So to sit here and compare it exclusively to Dodge is a load. Also, the whole 5.7L engine part is also again, not exclusive to Dodge. Nissan has a 5.6L, which is basically the same thing. Chevy has a 5.3L and a 6.0L engine and Ford has the 5.4L V8. I mean, if borrowing the same engine size were a crime, well, you better arrest every car manufacturer on the planet.
