I've worked in automotive for the past decade and agree with this assessment. You'd have to really break down what you mean by "mainstream." To me it's chopped up in so many branding pieces it's not even funny. OEMs are all going to do their own thing, with their own design engineers and their PERCEPTION of what people want. The smart ones test this stuff, the others guess or just style against functionality and money saving tactics.
