But as in the fashion industry, the very best ideas can soon become a trend. It’s a cyclic business, but there are often times when a stance or a styling feature turns up on multiple vehicles.

Equally, no one will just follow the herd, because there’s always a risk that as it gathers pace, cars end up looking too similar.
