It's the design cues BigRed ...
Look at BMW cars and the front end then look at pretty much any model since the twenties (??) and you see the shape.
Interestingly VW did try this with the new version 8 Golf but it fell over a bit with the blobby body shape.
Problem is that the Monster design cues were dropped over successive models, the 'all you need is' ethos is there but nothing that links it to the mothership other than the name.
