    I disagree that aerodynamics optimization is the reason that a lot of cars have started to look for the same. Here are 3 highly aerodynamic cars that have been explicitly optimized for aerodynamics, each with their own unique flair:

    1st generation Honda Insight

    1st generation Tesla Model 3

    5th generation Toyota Prius

    It’s impossible to confuse one of these cars for each other. Automakers absolutely can make gorgeous and distinct looking cars without compromising aerodynamics, they simply choose not to.

      You say that but my partner seems to be entirely incapable of telling the difference, even here. All cars are just “an car” to her. Kind of awesome in a strange way. It’s like vehicular face-blindness.

      Counterpoint: I do so on purpose to piss off Tesla fans. “Oh neat car, is that the new Prius?”

      I just noticed that the Tesla Model 3 kind of looks like a Porsche, and I don’t think that’s an accident.

      The headlights and grille seem highly inspired by the 911.
