Car designs tend to use similar structures to meet safety regulations. This is most noticeable when you look at the design of a concept car vs the actual production version. When an automaker has to bring a concept to market it has to add larger mirrors, larger lights, bigger bumpers to meet standards. The issue is exacerbated by the need to meet standards globally while minimizing production costs. In this case the automakers don’t have any real choice because of the constraints they’re given. Much like how software trends to sameness once an optimal design has been discovered.
