I know that you and parent are joking about lyft being just another taxi service, but would that really hurt them? Lyft and Uber win because of the ability to rate their drivers, ease of payment (imho Uber wins this much more than lyft), and the fact that everything about your trip is tracked. You get into a regular taxi, and who knows who is going to be behind the wheel, what state the car is going to be in, what sorts of payment they'll agree to take, etc. Uber and Lyft took all of that nonsense out of the transaction. THAT is why they're winning (that, and cost), not because of what their cars look like.
