those cars aren't the cars of the masses. they are niche cars which niche cars have always had their own followings.
the US market likes the sedan/saloon design which is why it takes so long to get new fresh designs. Few car makers deviate from it. Yes, you get a curve here, and a straight edge there, but all in all they are still a box with four wheels. That's why the Bugatti Vehryon isn't such a popular design here. That's why they didn't sell the Honda Accord to the US market that's in the European market, but redesigned it to a tamer styling.
Looking at the WORLD market the designs you mention like the TT/SC430 and the Element, those kinds of styling cues have all been out there in the japanese and european markets for over a decade.
