Why do all new cars have crappy looking front ends? Aero?

Actually, it's the 5mph US crash rules that make the JDM cars sold here look like crap. The ped rules in Europe are why the BMWs look like ass... but I don't think those rules are making Japanese cars sold in the US ugly quite yet.

It is affecting the Japanese cars sold in Europe, which are generally also sold here.
