Most EVs I've seen pictures of look as though they simply forgot to cut out the grille opening in a GRP moulding

Angry or aggressive...yes, BBD.

I've particularly noticed a trend towards this in the design of headlights, with rows of spots that form "eyebrows" angled downwards and inwards to give the "eyes" of the headlights below them an impression of impatience, aggression, anger, or all three.

As if tailgaters weren't bad enough without giving the darned things a narky face.

I thought Pug had reached a new low on the horrid things nailed onto 4007's/407/308 etc, but Lexus have really taken ugly to the extreme and completely ruined their line up of cars in the process,

Compare a 460LS circa 2010 with the latest of almost anything they make, and each new model goes further into crass eyesore level, course they arn't alone in this but it's probably one of the worse examples, apart from ever uglier Bentleys, in the world of motoring.

Ignore the last link, it is not what i intended. It was supposed to be a picture of a subaru sambar.

I like the '"non-grille" on the Tesla Model 3 - where it has a shape that suggests where the grille might have been if it had needed one, but left smooth and blank - a bit remeniscent of the Renault Caravelle of the 1960's.

Another interesting "non-grille" was the first prototype Routemaster bus of 1954. It was later updated with a the familiar standard Routemaster front end.
