The article seemed to be lashing out at "overly" designed card such as most modern Toyotas (and I would lump the Supra in there myself). But there are still plenty of clean, conservative, visually simple cars out there. Sadly they pretty much only come from luxury brands: BMW 2, 3 and 5 series, most Audis, Volvo S60, S90 and their wagon counterparts, several Genesis models, Golf GTI and R, etc.
