Yeah, they made a really strange decision with the way the headlights pop up 4 inches or so above the hood.

I recall hearing somewhere that Nissan did for aerodynamic reasons to make sure the slipstream goes over the side-view mirrors, but boy does it look ugly. As an engineer, I usually never find myself arguing in favor of aesthetics over effectiveness, but in this case even I think they should have done something different.

That said, I'm not a car designer, so there might be other factors going on there.
