Having gone to school with many automotive engineers, I think the problem stems from many cars nowdays being designed by commitee. You have teams that can't agree what approach to take with a car, and they end up with something absolutely average and boring. *ahem* Toyota *ahem*
I think that if you take a look at many of the iconic cars throughout history, they have been a pet project of one engineer/designer/exec. People like Butzi Porsche, Carrol Shelby, Colin Chapman, etc...
Nowdays I think the list would include people like Lee Noble, Bob Lutz, and Gordon Murray.
