Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - Phrasefinder
In Molly Bawn, 1878, there's the line "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", which is the earliest citation that I can find in print. The 1980s saw the coining of the term 'beer goggles' (the increased attractiveness of the opposite sex when one is drunk)
It's the pug nose. It appears the intent is more windshield, less hood.

Compare the top edge bevel with the Kanoo or Robovan. They could've extended it down into a three-piece windshield. That bumped hood is something aerohead tested on his T-100 at Bonneville. It didn't seem to help.
