The box being differenced from the first superellipsoid (for the truck front
end) is creating the sharp edged upper side. You could use just the
superellipsoid itself, no CSG done to it, and just round it out more by
using larger numbers, e.g. <0.15,0.15>. It would need to be scaled smaller
in the y and moved downward (-y) some too.

Maybe that's of some help, just not sure if I guessed exactly right about
what you were asking.
