current body designs: sloping front ends

Drooping hoods are my pet peeve. It's hard to estimate the nose in our usual B2B traffic and tight roads. The current Altis and that 7th gen Civic are examples of this. Now, the 8th gen is even worse, as in zero hood visibility, even if you stoop to the front, thanks (or rather no thanks) to the long, deep, spaceship-like dashboard.

The EK Civic is a very good example of excellent driving position and visibility. For me, it's the perfect compromise of seeing the road and your hood.

yup.... I dont like those new stooping hoods either....para kang nanghuhula kung mabubundol mo na yung nasa harapan mo....tsaka parang mas madali akong nasisingitan ng mga traysikel...

that's why I like to drive 4x4's like SUV's and Pickup trucks....kita mo na yung hood mo, kita mo rin sila lahat dahil mas mataas ang seating position mo kesa sa normal cars....
