I don't think it's just Chris Bangle but he certainly shares a large portion of the blame. Modern safety standards mean that modern cars all have to share pretty similar dimensions in order to meet crash safety standards etc. Looking at the picture of that meastro again the amount of glass compared to the low waistline is something that you wouldn't see these days on a similarly sized car.

I think Chris Bangle changed car design at a fairly fundamental level, simple elegant shapes lost out to complex creases and detail.
