Yeah, I feel like most of the overdesigned cars in the past decade or so have come from Japan. Notably Toyota, which in my opinion has produced some of the worst car designs of the past twenty years. The pinched grill that started with their Lexus line and is now on Toyotas as well is a matter of taste I guess, but it's always reminded me of the alien's mouth in Predator, which in turn is reminiscent of an anus. I think some of the most recent Lexi pull it off, but throughout most of its history, I think that grill has been pretty awful. Honda lost its design mojo a long time ago, and its most recent Accord is ok only because it resembles a BMW. The past 20 years has been a series of mostly very forgettable Honda designs. Nissan has also produced a lot of atrocities the past couple of decades since the genuinely striking tail treatment on the 2002 Altima. The Maxima has been particularly bad. Then there's Hyundai, which has been hit or miss but who went through a very organic look for awhile that made all their cars look like they were grown in pods. They were beautiful in their own way, but like a lot of their Japanese siblings, just overdone in my opinion.
