I wonder why they chose to hinge the hood at the front? So it wont get blown away due to high speed? It seems like it would be a pain to work on. Maybe they take off the whole front when servicing the car.

No that's pretty common. A little less today but the engines sit so far back they need more room by the cowl to reach around.
