In my opinon, it makes most cars look shit and will sound the death bell for the classic supercar profile of 'low bonnet' - 'high arse.' Blame who you like infact, it's still going to happen.

yeah...that worries me a lot...I'm still hoping that manufacturers will handle it somehow without changing the shape dramatically - there are certain ways like bonnet-airbags etc.
So there is an ounce of hope that many cars won't be that much influenced but it's definitely the end of cars like Range Rover - the shape of which is also unpermissible
