The car is also made out of metal. Why do you need the metal in front?

More weight = more magnetic

I don't know.

The actual metal content varies. With plastic bumpers, aluminum condenser/radiator, composite support pieces, the actual amount of magnetic metal may be quite minimal, and there's practically no vehicles that have so much metal in their front end to compare to a slab of metal on the outside.

Try using a magnet on a can of coke.
