I saw one of these on the way home from St. Simons yesterday, and while the "boomerang" is not exactly the same and it doesn't flow into the rear quarter, it did immediately remind me of your post/the A90. I never would have thought that seeing a Buick would be able to make me think of any Supra ? Maybe I just never noticed how common this design element has become.I was ecstatic when they announced the return of the Supra. Eventhough I knew it was going to be a BMW collaboration, I was willing to look past it if Toyota really got involved. Then the leaks came out. With every leak that came out, the more I was questioning the looks. I took to photoshop to see it before it was officially revealed.

Although the car does look better in person, something is still off. The proportions after trying to squeeze an FT-1 onto a Z4 really doesn't work. The roof is too tall with the exaggerated double bubble. The c-pillars flow into the quarter panels as well as a wall flowing into the floor. The hood is also too tall making it look almost as thick as the quarter panels. Its like building a lego car with basic blocks. Here is the angle that best shows what I'm talking about.
I am a Toyota fan but their most exciting products these days are their trucks and one of them is 12 years old. It seems like Toyota designers are getting lazy. Either they design every car around the height of a grille (Lexus) or they over use one design element. Look at the body line from the doors into the quarter panels. Minivans and sports car sharing body lines?
