Distinct means it's clearly different. Those car models aren't distinct: https://medium.com/swlh/the-zombie-mobile-b03932ac971d though they're recognisable (through their badges, accessories, specific colour schemes, etc.). An SUV and a sedan are distinct.
Yeah, partly based on your feedback we decided to replace the word distinct with the word distinguishable, as distinct as you are pointing out can be understood to imply more radical changes than what we are looking for here.
I prefer "distinct", actually, in the full sense — for the car analogy, think of those Volkswagen commercials when they re-launched the Beetle. But in the interest of compromise I'm okay with distinguishable. Maybe, though, "clearly distinguishable" — not just distinguishable if you are an expert and know a trick.
