There are literally a million things you need to pay attention to when designing a car. Increasingly important today are a distinct identity and an individual character. These are essential to generate conversations around the car. One especially effective way to inject character and identity into a design is legacy, a family lineage built up over years, or multiple generations. Do this, and you have an ever-increasing pool of would-be customers who are aware of your brand. German carmakers have been leveraging this for decades. The Porsche 911 , the VW Golf , the Mercedes S-Class / E-Class / G-Class , the success of one generation has built the next.
