I'm obviously in the minority, because they keep designing cars this way so people are clearly buying them, but that sort of design strongly negatively affects my inclination to own the car.

I'm not a big "your car should reflect you" sort of person, but I'm not immune to the effect. I know that seeing cars on the road with that aesthetic causes me discomfort and encourages me to make unflattering assumptions about the people driving them, and I don't want to have that effect on others.
