Well said, Bob!
I'm remembering about a subtle change made to the Volt's hood: the seam was moved to the outside and down below the corner. The reason they did this is to reduce the stiffness of the hood in the likely area where a person' head would hit the car, if you were so unfortunate as to strike them while driving.
My point is, why does the Volt (and other cars, too -- I specifically have heard about Honda designing similarly) to protect pedestrians, when a truck or and SUV with it's "wall" of metal and knarly edges don't make any concessions -- in fact they are downright vicious in this regard.
