The gap in the hood you are referring to is normal, that's where the hood ends and the front grill/bumper section starts. It does look a little odd the first time you look at it, but if you open the hood, you understand why they did it this way.
I test drove one a couple days ago, what a sweet ride
P.S.: there are lots of them around by now, so no, this is definitely NOT the only one in NA!
