I don't see the problem with the actual flatness here, but that they removed a lot of details, the black ring, the grey cross in the Bavarian flag, and the grey circle encompassing that. IMHO, they should've just removed the "specularity", making it flat, but preserving the details. They went for both minimal and flat, but just flat would've been fine. EDIT: I mean, honestly, it looks like a Bavarian-colored host[0] glued onto the hood. May or may not be a coincidence, considering Bavaria is very traditional and Roman Catholic.
