The hood line is "higher" than in earlier gens where the hood either met the grill directly with no painted section, or the grill was actually part of the hood.

I agree that the current implementation looks excessively goofy. It looks like some kind of last-minute compromise to meet pedestrian safety regs, or some such thing where the engineers beat out the designers.
