At first glance, it does look like the same basic mold as the PTE one (even the spring-loaded TOW looks similar), but it's not. The front wheel wells are angular on this one. Also, this one has windshield wipers, new bumper, tall air intake, different doors, wide side mirrors, long antenna, and tall exhaust. If you're looking for super realism in a toy model, this looks good, but the PTE version is quite good for the price.
