My metro needs something domed for mechanical clearence, like most fwd cars I suspect. But the design has been around since what, WWII or earlier? RWD cars don't usually need any center clearence. It certainly is a lot more trouble to 'spin form' manufacture them in a metal spinning lathe, than to just use flat metal. <metal spinning a metal working art that is all but gone>
I agree, there must be some other reason
