The higher hood is required by newer European pedestrian impact safety regulations, intended to reduce head injuries.
So the reality is 180 degrees opposite to what your claim is.

Looking like it's going to hurt you, while being safer, is not a contradiction.
Source? Everything I've heard is that the exact opposite is required -- that hoods are designed such that pedestrians will roll over them, and higher hoods increase hip injuries.
My comment was not about the height of the hood, but the overall styling.
Where do you get aggressive from? Both just look like regular style cars to me.
