I think it's a mistake to throw the baby out with the bath water. That you hate the grill does not have any relationship with the handling of the car.

Every G20 330 I've driven, and I've driven many, has handled very well. I should know what good handling is having done hundreds of track days and actually being fast.

Just because someone is ugly for example does not mean they are also stupid and lazy. Each of those attributes is independent.
I agree that BMW, in general in its class (I am not comparing BMW to Porsche which IMHO is in a different price class), is a better handling car than its competitors. However, that is what makes the grill so annoyingly ugly. It doesn't have to be beautiful, but I can't imagine walking into my garage multiple times a day (as I do as in greater Phoenix there are very few homes with basements so we use our garages for storage) and seeing that front end! Just make a car that isn't entirely ugly and its driving attributes will supersede that issue.
