I find from time to time that the FTO tends to get mistaken for other models, I've had a couple of garages call it a GTO, one called it an FSO (?!) and the missus keeps mistaking Hyundai Coupes for FTOs :roll:

I had someone say that to me too... GTO is prob the most popular wrong name, but most people don't even know what it is, getting to know the puzzled look followed by what is it? :lol:

Presumably this was after you remodeled the car? :smt077

How are you getting on with the new one?

by **rsg** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 4:23 pm

I onced got asked how much I paid, like R350 000?

I've gotten a lot of people that say it looks like a Porsche from behind.

Call me crazy, but I've always thought (and still do) it has a Ferrari/Aston Martin look to it at certain angles.

There's a definate resemblence to the Astons from the front alright!
