The point that styling (interior and exterior) is going to be a big differentiator is spot on. In addition, the "feeling" that a person has in the car will also be a big impact. I recently purchased a X3. When looking across similar competition (Jag, Mercedes, Audi), it was really about the style and feelings. In fact, I started in Jag because I like the style until the LCI changes.

I don't see how this is any different than it has ever been, really. A new Audi is every bit as "different" (however you want to measure that) from a new MB or BMW as a 1965 Ford was from a '65 Chevy. Probably far more different actually, because the way you interface with the car can be dramatically different now - iDrive vs. touch screen etc.
