mfgrs have also been quite clever in using fitted covers that actually disguise large parts of the car...bmw is quite known for this as the overall shape of the car is quite hard to see...on this car look at the back window where you can't tell if that is a fake spoiler or does the window go down ever farther

it's like the old cliche "don't judge a book based on its cover" but in this case you can't even make out what the cover really looks like so you are making a judgment without seeing what the cover really looks like
