"form follows function".
There is a reason why so many cars nowadays look almost identical in size, shape and appearance. It's because that design makes the most sense. They've evolved to the point where original design and artistic freedom have nearly gone by the wayside, unless you're talking about a car designed for spiky-haired teenagers (scion B, kia soul, nissan cube, etc).

Aerodynamics, MPG, crash testing, DOT regulations all that stuff means that all cars must meet the same rules and in order to do that they all the cars in the same class are gonna look alike if they're gonna be worth a darn.
