Imagine jacked up SUV's and pick-ups with bumpers lower than their axles. Not good for off-roading. Or roadsters with bumpers a foot above the hood. Not good for aerodynamics. My Grandma almost got squashed by a truck which decided to start backing at a red light, with her right behind him and no way out. His bumper was just under her roofline. Honking from about 5 cars didn't help b/c the truck was so loud. Thankfully, someone in the next lane got out and jumped up into the truck's cab.
I'm all for more safety.
