I like seeing a hood in front of me, do you?

My old 900 vert had a nice long hood, and my current 9-3 hood isn't bad. I had a NG900 as a loaner from my indy last week, and was surprised at how that hood seemed to have more of a drop off.
Anyway, I like to see a hood out in front of me. Not to sound too much like Emily Dickinson or whatever, but I like to see a big shiny steel hood out there gobbling up the road. I really like to see at least a little of my exterior as i drive. It gives me more of a sense of place.
I had been thinking my next car would be an Abarth, but I drove my sister-in-law's and, no hood. No thanks, that is a deal breaker. How is the Mini in this regard? It seems like it bulges out nicely, almost Porsche-like (which is what I'm truly after, but yeah).
I guess there's not really much hope for a small-car guy. A big hood is the first concession to "small-ness" these days in terms of design. : (
