Post pictures of a Chevy, Ford and Plymouth coupe from the 1920's and show me the difference? This same shape thing is not new, it sucks.

The reason why all of them look alike today is that they all go thru wind tunnel testing which bevels all style out of the car. This results in a .5 mile per gallon increase at high way speed. this "increase" costs all pretense of style or uniqueness.

That's part of the reason, but not the only one. I cited the car manufacture's desire to get the Federals off their backs, and make drone cars for the masses (that are very expensive due to all the safety and environmental garbage).

Research it. You will find that what I said is true.
