Possible Stylistic Antecedents?

What strikes me as incongruous is the fact that the
"transformer" Supra Concept debuts in the North American market.
Wouldn't it be more logical that this would synch with Japanese culture?
There's gotta be an explanation for the aesthetic shift between the two cultures and what the preferences are-

Ferrari Zagato 575 GTZ
While the Japanese Supra bears some resemblance to classic Ferrari's-
it's definitely retro themed...something the U.S. seems to understand and like.
