Hmmm, it doesn't work this way: if it did, then we could put a pinhole only instead for the radiator, and super high-pressure air would be going through itTake your thumb and partially block the opening. Is there any less water? Nope. The same amount of water still flows through the smaller opening.
...
Feel free to correct me on any of these.
The difference with the hose is that the pressure of an uncompressible medium (water) is restricted in a hose while under tremendous backpressure. This medium tries to exit somehow.
With air coming to the front of a car, the medium is (a) compressible, (b) unrestricted (it can simply deflect), and (c) there is also not a very high backpressure.
