Any idea why so many vehicles are ugly today?

Because they cannot start with a clean sheet of paper.

Frontend, backend, rollover... collision requirements.

Exterior lighting, line of sight for the driver, mirrors.

After all that and more, a low drag coefficient is very nice.

Then the design team gets to select the color scheme.

Yes, imagine a beast of burden designed by a federal government DoT committee.

I would say boring , not ugly. Why can’t we have choice between front wheel drive and rear wheel drive? To get rear wheel drive you have to go to high end nameplates...
