*Nuclear submariners don't question look-a-like submarine hulls.
*Commercial airline passengers don't question look-a- like aircraft fuselage.
*Shooting enthusiasts don't question look-a-like ammunition.
*Plumbers don't question look-a-like pipe fittings.
*Meteorologists don't question look-a-like anemometers.
*We can go on and on.
In the automotive industry there has been a high grade paranoia over look-a-like automobiles since the 1920s.Citizen consumers have been conditioned over the decades to accept planned automotive absolescense.
