The Ducati Multistrada 1200 has an odd grill/nose.

Made of real carbon fiber though...

I have to agree. They should've used the grill for all Camry models.

I don't give a flying rat's tail how good the big Audi's are or how much they cost, the grill was the sole factor which prevented me from giving it any consideration when I purchased my LS. This is my opinion so you Audi fans don't be nasty to me.

Reminds me of Hannibal Lecter.

Acura's aren't that bad, the 2011 TL was, it looks like it was smiling at me all the time. The 2012 Acura, they've changed the grill so it's not smiling big anymore.

For me, all Cadillac SUVs.

Well,, you kinda know me and I will be the first to tell you that I kinda like it. That grill from Bugatti has been their benchmark and staple since the early days of the company. the type 37 and 57 are 2 of the cars I can think of off hand which used the early models of that grill. I WILL agree that while the company had to find a way to make their benchmark evolve into todays market and STILL have it be instantly recognizable as a Bugatti,,,it DOES NOT lend itself to ALL of their concept vehicles both past and present. It is either a hit or miss with this grill.
