Even still, despite that, its clear representation that it is a polarizing design, with "strongly dislike" outweighing other options, more so than "love" or "like" the two positive options.

To be fair it's basically 31.66% like and 34.56% strongly dislike so 50/50. However it's pretty clear the "strongly dislike" camp is more vocal because if you go by the thread comments alone you would think it would the poll would have ended up 90% dislike. The reality is that the general populace doesn't have the same strong negative opinions which is why the big Lexus and Audi grilles have become commonplace and why BMW is going the same direction. I'm not an apologist as to me this looks fine for an EV and I didn't have grand illusions that BMW's first real EV SUV was going to look sexy and sporty based on the appearance of most EV's which are somewhat odd looking out of necessity to reduce drag.
