I was really close on getting a spoon S2000 until I saw a BMW Z4 Coupe on the street.
They look almost identical to me (S2000 w/spoon hardtop and BMW Z4 Coupe)
What came around first? the hardtop or the Z4?


(will take down pics at owners request)

 

Doesn't matter cause that top is UGLY!!

 

I think BMW had the M Coupe before the S2000 was available. And it is just by chance that the new generation, the Z4, resembles the Spoon setup.

 

I don't think this is a case of who copied who...

 

i would go with spoon being the first on this one...but great minds think a like and no one copied anyone. and i don't think the z4 top is a two piece.

 

it's not. that is a hardtop coupe.

 

Either car is beautiful so who cares.

 

i care....just another thread for me and others to do more pointless ranting

 

when did the mooncraft hardtop come out?

when did the new z4m coupe come out?

whichever was the former... was copied by the latter

 

only reason i say Spoon is because it is raced designed and car companies tend to use race technology to design vehicles, so its possible BMW liked the design...but i'm a honda nutswinger and no nothing about bmw racing.

 

The BMW Z4 Coupe was unveiled around sept. 2005 on the Frankfurt motorshow, I just dont know when the hardtop was first produced.

 

Mooncraft Hardtop on the Spoons2k not a Spoon hardtop correct? I thought it was Mooncraft?

 

i saw the Spoon mooncraft top for first time in 02 via video. like i said earlier race proven designs are usually used by car companies later.

 

fixed

 

Mooncraft was first. /thread

 

who copied who?

 

enough with your collection of ***** pictures black! - sheesh - any excuse...

 

etc.

 

Dude, those look nothing alike.

 

S2k is better,stay in the honda game.

 

fine

 

I was just posting some cars that have similar lines to the first two. A fastback design is nothing new.

 

The spoon hardtop was deaf out first, and they do look very very simular.

I would take the M coupe myself =D I know you guys hate those cars, but I like the newest year m coupe styling allot. Well, everything but the front end that is... They have nice interrior styling as well, and I just love that *** end. There new tail light design is just ****. I am really into lighting design, it usually plays a big role when I decided how I want my car to look. Maybe I'm just a dork.

 

I'm pretty sure the Spoon hardtop came out first. But if you want my opinion, I think the idea for the Spoon hardtop came from this:

S800 Coupe



I could totally be wrong too, but I definitely see it...

 

the spoon/mooncraft hardtop is ugly, makes accessing the trunk harder, and is overpriced.

the z4 coupe is f'ing sweet... but also overpriced, has a usable trunk, and their seats aren't stolen as much.
