This is a real pet peeve of mine, more and more modern vehicles are
reducing visibility in favor of "style". This is a real safety issue.
I wonder how many additional small children are going to get run over
because drivers didn't see them in their stylish vehicles.

I hate the visibility from my '03 Accord. There is much to like about
modern Hondas, but visibility around the front pillars is not one of the
things to like!
