You have a point though that car design has converged, it's not as distinct as it was 50 years ago. Then you could identify a car just on its noise. A modern Ford Mondeo is about the same size and performance as my 9000 CSE. Which would I rather have? They probably do about the same job, but the Saab is just that bit more exotic and with attention to details e.g. a timing chain and everything in my 1993 still works.
