I have come to accept that the grille thing is the current fashion these days. Look at Audis, BMW, even Lexus all have some sort of dominant grille design. it is suppose to show 'family' resemblance. That when you see that front end you can tell what car it is immediately. Look at the Saabs. They all have similar grilles throughout the decades. A Saab is not a Saab without that tri-vent grille front end.
