Why does the new Toyota Tundra look just like a Dodge Ram? Can't Japan produce ANYTHING original?

Question

Does Japan ever INVENT anything? Why is it that all they seem to do is rip off other designs and capitalize on the ingenuity of others?

Answer 1

they make some original cartoons and voice delayed movies as well .... Please Note... with Toyota jumping into the big truck market... they actually surpassed GM ,overall , with product average gas guzzling consumption ... and their truck is awfull

Answer 2

my vote is for the circumvent. speaking from a organic artwork truck standpoint, interior isn't a situation as long as ya have someplace to take a seat,actual more beneficial worry-free and more straightforward to sparkling is a plus. the ram engines are more beneficial sturdy,produce more beneficial potential,and torque,and in my journey get more beneficial efficient gasoline mileage completely loaded compared to the imports. and likely even although toyota has american flowers, the money nonetheless is going to tokyo. the toy gives you no 3/4 ton or higher type the ram gives you as a lot as a 5500 it truly is on par with the ford/gm 6500 alternatives. also toy gives you no diesel. circumvent has plans to slot a cummins diesel into all circumvent truck platforms ( optimistically fiat wont squash this ) so the durango,dakota,and ram 1500 have a a danger diesel option,nonetheless no option everywhere on the toy record. the circumvent has a higher tow,and haul potential, my ninety 5 dakota out tows and hauls a clean tundra. toyota is purely that, a TOY.

Answer 3

K. Buddy .
If you havent noticed .. EVERYONE IS COPYING FROM EVERYONE! lol silly!

Dodge has its own style. Ford is copying form Dodge and others
toyota is copying from ford ( nasty ) and dodge. and a mix of Chevy .
BUt they do this becuase there are more people out there that are liking this whole new ( nasty bodys ) body era , where as i say the cars all look like fat bubbles and peices of plastic.
Toyota KNOWS that ALOT of people LOVE their engines, the bodys too ,why ? beacuse they reconize that same body shell that was a previous reminder of dodges,chevys,fords,hondas etc's .. example...
Chevy + Dodge (body/shell) = a Neat look ( so people say )
Toyota make + Engine = best thing ever
Chevy(body) + Dodge(body) + toyota Engine = what they want .
If they were to make up just any new type of body ... LIKE THE NEW SUPRA ( so theres a new body shell being manufactured )
then people would be too scared to buy it . A LOT of people now dont like changes. i mean.. i love changed lol . but lots of the people now days hate em .

Sorry if i didnt make sence bud.

Answer 4

I do not know anything about the Toyota Tundra or the Dodge Ram. My question is about a work of fiction that is not original. It is called The Book of Mormon.

I am answering your question from about three months ago. In the 1800s, shortly before Joseph Smith founded the Mormon church, Solomon Spaulding, who died in 1816, wrote a fiction novel about the hypothetical or imaginary origin of the aboriginal people of North America. It was not intended to be anything more than a creative and entertaining novel, as far as I know.

It bears an amazing similarity to The Book of Mormon, which probably is not orginal. In fact, some people claim that part of the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon was written in Solomon Spaulding's handwriting. The July 11, 1977 issue of 'Time' magazine, reported that Smith was convicted of hiring himself out to find buried treasures with the seer stones.

The Book of Mormon was divided into chapters and verses with reference by Orson Pratt (publishing company) in 1879 in Liverpool, England. According to 'The Peoples Almanac 2', "It was arranged in double-column pages, as it now appears, with chapter headings, chronological dates, revised footnotes, pronouncing vocabulary and index in 1920, by which time there was worldwide distribution."

The above quotation should explain its biblical appearance.

The Mormons recruited many of their early members from Preston, England as well as from Denmark.

I would suggest that you do an Internet search on Solomon Spaulding, presumably a clergyman, if you are interested.

As for your original question, I do not know.

I guess its been said that there is nothing new under the sun.

Answer 5

Ah yes. Styling is in the eye of the beholder.

What Toyota has invented is a truck with a 6-speed A/T, loaded with extras, that will sell for about the same price as a base model Dodge P/U with one difference. Toyota will sell it at a profit! And that’s the name of the game.

Answer 6

Because everybody wants to be like Microsoft! If they can make billions without ever producing anything original, why can't others?

Answer 7

Have you seen the Honda Element, Nissan Figaro, Honda S2000, Nissan 240, 300, or 350Z, Scion Xa and Xb,Toyota Prius, Nissan GT-R, Honda Civic SI, Subaru WRX or Nissan Versa?

Tell me numnutz, name ONE American car that those designs were copied from? Just one. You Detroit fanboys are as deep as a razor blade and almost as smart.

Answer 8

Dodge took the styling ideas from Kenworth. Can't Dodge build something original?

Answer 9

it's called company loyalty.

you see a car you like, made by a company you don't
so you ask your favorite company to make the same thing.
they do, you buy it, you're happy.

and also, don't be so critical.(can't you produce anything original? don't you ever invent things? why is it you keep ripping things off?)

you see how it can hurt?

Answer 10

There is a Toyota plant in San Antonio Tx.
