Styling similarity has always had the same problem. 90s cars looked the same, for example. Take the 80s and look at the front of an '82 Escort, Astra, Jetta, Alfasud. They all influence eachother and tastes roll with fashion trends. My problem with today's cars is the kitchen appliance mentality. The car is no longer the star.
