Notice the A pillars. They protrude ahead of the windscreen, and their base continues over the hood. Why? To force air over rather than along the car.

I'd assert just the opposite. The protrusion dies out with the curve of the bottom of the windshield. The creases in the hood are in a pronounced V-shape. It's like a 'bug deflector' that cause the air close to the hood to divert to the sides. Maybe to energize the air around the rear-view mirror?
