Form follows function. If you want to build say a 2-seater hatchback with good aerodynamics, there are only so many possible shapes you can use. If different makers then optimize their aerodynamics, they're all going to wind up looking alike, the same way birds (in a similar ecological niche) all look pretty much alike. Robins, sparrows, crows, etc: look beyond feather color, and you see they're all the same shape.
