"Another fringe benefit is protection from damage when encountering deer on the road, the low sloped front of the car scoops them up and over the top of the car with minimal damage to both deer and car."

Ah, yes, I have visions of deer floating gracefully over the roof, along with the snowflakes, feeling like Rudolph Nureyev. Seriously, has this been tested even once for deer impact? They run rather large around here, and tend to come through the windshield after you knock their legs out from under them. I'm thinking of a nice brace just on the inside of the glass to help them over.
