OK for those that seem to dislike the suggestion that pickup trucks and SUVs kill more than cars do here's a study from the BMJ.
Specifically, with regard to the shape of the front of the vehicle:
> A large recent study in the USA found that, as compared with the low and sloping front end of a traditional passenger car, the odds of pedestrian fatality increased by 45% if the striking vehicle had a tall and sloped front end; increased by 44% if the striking vehicle had a tall and blunt front end; and increased by 26% if the striking vehicle had a medium-height and blunt front end.
