Forgive me if this has been answered but I've been in and out lately. Can someone explain why Mazda had to add that small "extra" body panel in front of the front edge of the hood on the 2017 CX-5? To me it just looks like an add on and I don't understand why the hood couldn't just extend out to cover that space like it did in the previous year models. So far I am not a fan of the new snout on the 2017 and this "extra" piece is part of the reason why. Anyway...can someone explain that panel's purpose?
Thx!
Bill
