“Is it me or does it seem like car designers are getting lazier or perhaps just running out of ideas. In either case, some models are becoming less original from one generation to the next. When you look at some particular manufacturers' models, there's less individualization and more replication. Granted there needs to be some resemblance across an automaker's lineup for brand distinction but it has gotten to a point where different models look like carbon copies. Some cars no longer need alphanumerical names, they just need sizes like small, medium, and large with the option of super-sizing in the form of long wheelbase versions.”
