they tried it with the Chrysler PT Cruiser which they sold in australia in the early 2000s I think
but it seemed like they were trying too hard, deliberately trying to be quirky and retro, and they're not valued much now like something that sprang out of genuine design eccentricity is

PT was sold here and did alright
well by alright I mean it sold a few but not in the numbers expected. A few still survive including a convertible that is as marmite as a car can get. personally I don't mind the design at all but each to their own.

speaking of bonnet (or hoods to the yanks)
I read some article looking at a sort of escalting arms-race in the states for pick-ups competing to have increasingly and stupidly high bonnet with each new model. as result there's been a sharp rise in accident, like people running over their own kids, as they have no idea what in the first 8 or so meters in front of their car when they're driving as it's obscured by the bonnet, e.g hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2022-chevrolet-silverado-2500hd-006-1628798155.jpg
