Abstract
A grill bracket, a rear end portion of which is fixed to a shroud, is provided below a fascia upper member which is provided in front of a bonnet (engine hood). A front-side portion of the grill bracket is configured as an impact absorbing structure (a rib structure with ribs, for example) which extends forward along a back face of the fascia upper member. A front end portion of the impact absorbing structure is configured to be bent downward. Impact absorption for a relatively-small load which is applied from an upward side is attained by downward-bending deformation of the grill bracket (the front-side portion). Impact absorption for a relatively-large load which is applied from a forward side is attained by a bracing operation as well as downward-bending deformation of the front-side portion.
