Agree on the 'ugly' part!

As far as the sloping front ends, I _think_ they are intended to wedge
under a vehicle in front of you so your face smashes into the rear bumper
of that vehicle (or truck).   :-((

And of course, by the time your face travels that far, your airbag will
have already deflated.   :-((


     Good luck...  M.
