Mmm, I think I understand what you're saying, but there's such a thing as 'house style'. No matter which nationality the actual designer has: they will always have to blend in with traditiion. If BMW finds a great designer in South Tibet, they will hire him, but in the end, at a glance you'll see it's a BMW. The Murci and the Gallardo look every inch Lamborghini, though designed by a 'Waffle'
