The only theory I have is that maybe they would worry about the more "style-driven" buyers would see it as too much of a radical change to get rid of the grille.
GM has had it for a while now. However low fuel prices meant there was way more money in SUVs, and that sort of prevented them from doing the "right" thing and making nice cars.
You have to keep in mind this is a company strapped for cash. Toyota would have done the same thing if they were in a similar position.

Why not do away with a traditional grille if it is not needed? This car is a paradigm shift.

Agreed

Not needed? It still has a combustion engine you know.
I wouldn't call it a paradignm shift but it's a step in the right direction, especially since it's made in the US. Finally they have woken up.

Dude, he actually says that they don't need a front grille because the air intakes are on the side. That thing isn't functional.
