Maybe less R&D might have saved us from those hideous new grills?

Seriously, taste is not a function of R&D but good engines, brakes, well tuned transmissions and suspensions, etc. are. So there is some merit to your point.

But a few more vehicles sold than Mercedes or a few less isn't going to impact on R&D budgets. Furthermore, the impact of the new grills won't be felt for a couple of more years until they become more prevalent.
