with modern aerodynamics, most cars look alike.

Damn right...if you threw a tarp made of shag carpet over them to hide the panel gaps and other fine features, you couldn't tell them apart. The same way many supercars have the same shape, most sedans now have the same shape because it's a shape that works. Unfortunately instead of getting insane top speeds and tons of downforce in return, we get slightly boosted gas mileage (which is still poor relative to an older car).

Yeah, between safety standards and aerodynamics, the difference is in the details.
