­The grille not only is it important to thermodynamics and aerodynamics, it also must be aesthetically pleasing, or at least not repelling potential buyers. Automakers are playing it safe by adopting some version of the trapezoidal grille, a style of the 1950s Aston Martin (picture above).Prudent design that allows a lot of air to move through the engine compartment.
