God they couldn't put a vent or piece of trim across where the front grille would typically be? It looks so out of proportion with the thin LED lights and off-center badge.

Grills wreak havoc on aerodynamics

They're needed for cooling gas cars, which have so much waste heat, but they reduce range significantly

Yeah I'm fine with no grille and I understand why EVs don't have or need them, but this particular example looks like a whiteboard with an off-center badge slapped on top of it.

I think this looks atrocious. Grills could be redesigned to not just be a big flat piece of plastic. Or, we aren't using the entire range all the time, so maybe it's not the most important thing.

So many cars have been homogenized by this. I miss when cars had personality and charm.
