Does the non-garage side in front of the front door recess area have a place for a large container? If so, I think it might look nice to have a couple of matching, large, tall containers flanking each side of the front. Then you could plant something tall in them. That might distract the the eye a bit from the huge garage door. When you move, you could take your containers (and any plants inside) with you. Of course, this would only work if you planted something drought tolerant and were committed to keeping the containers watered regularly.
I'm with you, I don't care for the garage door being the most noticeable feature on a house. It must be cheaper to make houses that way since most have that design now.
