I really have no argument with any of this, nor am I a CS hater. But remembering CS's law suits over the "shape" and having heard and read CS saying he created the Cobra, I believe using the word "create" is a bit strong for what he did. Dell assembles computers from outsourced parts as do dozens of other companies but I don't think Dell claims their computers are original creations. But, as you said, CS has a lot of trademark law on his side and that's the way it is. Who knows, if CS had not shoe-horned a Ford V8 into an A.C. Ace, someone else might have come along and slipped a 426 hemi into a Metropolitan Nash and we would be driving replicas of that. Then again, maybe not.
