Default Hood to front bumper gap........

Has anyone noticed the appauling gap from the hood to the front bumper.I just noticed it the other day and it kind of made me wonder... They should of been able to smooth that out better dont ya think.

The gap is there to add a little more airflow to the engine bay.It's also where the otr cai get air from.

They were just thinking of getting some air in to cool underhood temps. and the Australian performance industry made an intake to take advantage of it.That's my best guess. By the way GM borrowed the car from it's Holden division.
