Why do they always have to plaster a fake grill on the front of the car even when it doesn't need a front opening for cooling? If it doesn't need that front opening, they should have a smooth rounded surface on the front, not those recessed grill blocks. Although they got the generalized aero right, it looks like they compromised on a few of the details to follow "automotive tradition". I guess the Volt's styling isn't quite as revolutionary and aerodynamically functional as they claim it is.

Tacking fake grills on a car is almost as bad as tacking fake shutters onto a house, another one of my pet peeves.
