why the new cars has some similar model in style?

Answer 1

1) Aerodynamics tends to make cars have similar shapes

2) Many cars are now cousins under the skin, due to globalization. Ford owns Volvo, so a lot of Ford cars have a Volvo frame. GM's platforms are used across all brands, including Opel in Europe. For a while you can get a Subaru WRX sold as a Saab (with a appropriate Saab look, but it's a WRX underneath) Chrysler is affiliated with Daimler-Benz and the cross pollination is going that way too.

3) Some identical cars are sold by different brands. Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe are identical twins, came off the same factory in Fremont, CA. The older Nissan Quest minivan used to have a twin called the Mercury Villager. The first Honda SUV, the Honda Passport, was a rebadged Isuzu.

Answer 2

Because auto manufacturers are aware what segment of the market has the most disposable income. Many people that grew up as teens in the 60s/70s craved to own a muscle car. They couldn't afford it then but can now. Fords new Mustang (Shelby is nearly 50K) is a hit and Dodges soon to be released (retro styled 45K)Hemi Challenger will also be. I think Chevy may miss the mark with the new Camaro. The back is very Corvette like. Only time will tell. Look what Volkswagen did with the redesigned bug, they sold them like hotcakes!

Answer 3

Good astute observation. Sadly many competing cars actually look a lot like each other.

New Auto models require huge amounts of investments, and auto managements would like to minimize risks to the extent possible. They would ask the designers to make 'cleaner looking' versions of existing vehicles which have sold. Also if you are in India, the perception is that Indians are very conservative (which is fairly true), especially in certain markets, such as sedans and saloons. So manufacturers develop (rare) or release versions from their global portfolio (more common), that 'fit' this description and perception.

If you are wondering why Hyundai models look like Merc A-Class (Santro), Audi A4 (Elantra), Jaguar X (Old Sonata), Honda Accord (New Sonata rear), Aston-Martin (New Verna/Accent) etc, that is simply because Hyundai has no 'heritage' like Skoda (truck manufacturers), or Merc/ BMW, etc, so they'll make their vehicles look like cheaper versions of better cars in the markets they compete in.

Answer 4

Designers are taking a back seat to technology. While everybody is trying to make bars 'better', they are forgetting that a certain level of style is needed. It's almost like evolution. They find a formula that works, then they keep imoroving on it. Eventually they will all have a lot in common. Kind of why crocodiles look like aligators. Different animals, but both are sucessful designs. Me personally.... I'll take a 1959 Caddy coupe over anything thats produced today... But I like chrome..not plastic.
