American companies started ripping off Mercedes in the 70s, and BMW/Audi in the 80s (Audi almost sued Ford when the Taurus/Sable was introduced). Then the Japanese came along and ripped off everyone else's designs. And that's why most cars today look like modrately-used bars of soap.
The clean Euro designs were nice changes at the time, but they're also why everything looks so damn boring.
