Default Rear car profiles

Its a very sensible move, there have been few car profiles that stood the test of time and been iconic, Countach, etc. most cars from the 50-60's the shape is based and flows but how many can tell a mazer from an alfa racer, s fiat coupe from a ferrari. The styling flows and is influanced, but using often the same styling houses and people they have one design that 'worked' and then used this to influence others. so would I mind, far from it , I dont want a replica, I want something that is mine and fun to my mind, and pleaseing to my eye, something I have not seen in a car for a number of years. there are shapes and profiles that stand the test of time and others that date so fast (sierra) etc.
To come up with something that looks right takes skill time and effort, and costs money and as such I believe they are doing a great thing on budgets that are most likely crazy- I hope the sales do well for them!
