Except it's the opposite, higher hoodlines (and thus more blunt noses) are actually because of pedestrian safety requirements involving contact area and crumble zones; a lot of that facade is hollow.

Is the requirement to have higher hoodlines? Or is it to have safety mechanisms within the hood, which result in higher hoodlines?
