Honestly I thought it was a style thing. Those recent Lexus look HIDEOUS!
I agree! The new Lexus are so ugly! I prefer the look of a Toyota instead. Infiniti looks ok but maybe a tad boring and Acura is like the ghetto luxury brand.
Ford's actually run an active grill shutter that closes the grill when the extra cooling isn't needed to lessen drag and increase fuel economy. I believe most of their models now employ the technology.
All I can say is if you don’t like the way a vehicle looks don’t buy it, automakers make cars to meet government standards and styling is one way to achieve it. Every part of a car serves a purpose, either to deflect airflow for better mpg, or safety. So those big grills serve a purpose they are not there just for looks.
I'm sorry but you are 100% wrong. If Government standards were driving this hideous trend then EVERY car would sport these monstrosities. They are designed to call attention to the car, nothing more, nothing less.

In 2015 I was in the market for a new car. The Toyota Corolla was going to be on my short list until I saw that huge fake grill.

Most of the grills aren't fully open. If you get up close to come, you may notice the actual openings passing through to the radiator are not covering the entire area that you would assume is the grill. Ford focus is one that comes to mind that has a smaller grill opening than actual stylized grill area.
