It has been becoming harder, though.
Not only are most cars looking alike nowadays, but manufacturers are also mostly not putting model name badges on their cars any more… :-(
From my subjective point of view. I’ve noticed they pull over older cars. I just gave my cousin my 2005 sonata with 300k. It’s brown with faded clear coat on the hood. I got pulled over every other month in that thing despite breaking no laws. Just got a new Avalon and haven’t been pulled over once since, despite not having plates on it the day I picked it up.
That definitely became a thing. They think if you have an older car it means you won’t have insurance so they’ll be able to ticket you. Drug dealers around here used to ride in hoopties (the assumption at the time was that cops wouldn’t stop them because they knew they didn’t have any money) which probably doesn’t help the perception of older cars. They moved on a while back to newer and more invisible cars like slightly used SUVs.
For a while the number of white cars on the road was like 1/3 (the greatest number), black cars made up about 1/5, and red was 5%. But red cars were pulled over the second most.
That didn’t even match the designation! I got an “xle” car and was curious what’s it meant. You ready for this bullshit? Executive luxury edition! It’s the fucking base model! The top end model is called the touring. Like in what world does that make sense‽

And they’re all grey.
My friend had a grey SUV that for the life of me I could not find in a parking lot. So many gray SUVs that all look the same…
I hate the vehicle color trend of Depression Grey. And blue. And mold green.
Blame the cops. They were pulling over brighter vehicles at a higher rate for a long time. May still be.

Except for the models where they put the name in huge indented letters on the tailgate of hatch like the M A V E R I C K.
H o n d a Prologue
So glad I’m not the only one bothered by this one
It’s not even a real honda. It’s a badge engineered GM.
lol wait what i thought it was a joke spin on prelude, it’s real?
well i guess it’s still a joke, but honda themselves made it
Yeah, it’s their EV crossover that’s actually made by GM.
But that’s still nothing compared to the huge alphanumeric designators of the olden days:
“Ford Fiesta 1.6 GTI LS 4x4 Sunny Hedgehog Edition”
