    They kind of have to do that.

    Safety rules frown upon vehicles that crush everyone inside in an accident, so a modern vehicle’s roof is required to be able to support the entire weight of the vehicle. If it’s a big vehicle, that means very chunky pillars.

      I get the pillars. They also have curtain airbags, electrical lines etc. Most newer vehicles will have that.

      I mean the engine and hood itself. So square and chunky that you can hardly see the road, and that’s without lift kits or anything
