Thumbs down R.I.P. individual styling -

I'm up at the mall with my daughter who's about to turn 16 and is quite enthused about the T/A being hers in a few short months.
Anyway we're walking out in the parking lot. Usuallly I blank out into a sea of bland plastic lookalike vehicles that look like they all belong on a Avis lot, but I really noticed how similar all the new cars look, especially when they are the same color.
Their tailights, bumpers and back ends all look so close, you can hardly tell a one make from another.
I remember even in the lowly 80s when you could tell a Chevrolet from a Toyota a mile away, now they almost look like they were designed side by side.
Styling is dead, it makes one wonder if they were all done in pensicl by the same hand.
Daughter looked at the T/A (which stand out) with a gleem in her eye and said there is no mistaking her soon to be T/A for anything else other then a Pontiac.
Now I need to find her my wife something as classic to run to the arrands & store in -
