One funny thing I've noted about my car parked next to any newish midsize sedan. When I first got my car I was looked at the vertical grill and long raised hood compared to what was coming out at the time (08 so E60, E9x etc) and thought man compared to these slopping fronts my car looks sooo upright. I still loved it though.

Now as I said park next to anything newish my grill and hood line seem low and sleek. Amazing what PSS will do to design. Also I was at Costco a few weeks ago parked next to an F10. Holy crap. It looked SO big next to mine. Times change.
i think eventually you figure out what you like/don't like. the bad experiences really can put a damper on car buying experiments.

it takes awhile to figure out what you like. then it takes awhile to find that in a car. and then it takes awhile (for most of us) to reach the means to get the car.

in the Current Era of cars, there's largely nothing appealing, is the problem.
