For sure they don't have the 4" clearance between the top of the engine and the hood as required in many large markets for pedestrian safety.
As a workaround, for example the MX-5 has pyrotechnic cartridges to cause the hood to pop up at the cowl in the event of a detected impending frontal contact at speed.

Regards to those pictures above, I can tell just by looking that those guys are performing a cricket inspection.
