Is it really a problem with the grille? Or is it more vehicle size and bumper height?
It's the latter, the video is titled in a way to describe it simply, and I could have done a better job of describing it when making the post 🤷
Though the reason the bumper and front of the car is so high is generally to accommodate a larger grille for aesthetic reasons, so to some extent its kinda true to say the grille is causing the problem
My favorite car grille story comes from Lexus.
You might remember when they changed to their current iconic grille:
And people started joking "By your command!"
But the aggressive styling was 100% intentional.
They had found that when a Lexus came up behind someone in traffic, they often would get stuck behind other cars. The grille change was made specifically to intimidate other drivers and get them to move out of the way.
