I assume they do that for pedestrian crash standards. You don't want a sharp piece of metal being the first part to contact anything.

I like your point about the Sonata still though. I also assumed it was a European thing so I looked at some American-market cars with sharky noses. The Mustang does what Mercedes did, as well as the Camaro and Challenger. But the Kia Stinger does as well, while the K5 doesn't.follow up: Actually, I think you are right. Found this in some NCAP document and I'm pretty sure it is dictating this trend, unfortunately. The Sonata I posted is not available in Europe, so it's not subject to their more stringent pedestrian safety standards.
