Is this a trend or a local dealership doing this?

Pretty wide on the SUVs, narrow on the Toyota crossover. Ive never gotten glare off of my hood, in any vehicle I've ever owned or driven, ever. That sounds like marketing to me. Like, are they trying to say it's like a football players eye-black?
You can't see the hood on most new cars, but it really did used to be an issue. Racecars blacked out their hoods and then it became a factory option. It continued as a styling thing to show why your version is cooler.
I have driven cars for 26 years and never had that problem. Even long hooded sports cars. The glare has never come from my hood. Although, I live in the north so maybe that's why, where 8 months of the year the sun is always just over the horizon either in front or behind you. And it always manages to find a way to be in front. The vast majority of my equatorial driving was in a camo matte HMMV.
