Such a thing actually exists. And I took a picture of it.

This Nissan Skyline of unknown vintage lives across the street from where I
work, and I discovered it just last week. What a cool car. I always
wondered why Nissan never sold it in Canada or the US.

I have never seen the need for a rear wiper on any vehicle. They are a
waste through and through.

You live in the land of vitamin K and Alpine, with it's climate, and you
think a rear wiper/washer system is a waste? I hate cars without rear
wiper/washers. They are not a waste... you have obviously never driven
a car with the system.

Don't know about the rear wiper, but Nissan is finally selling the Skyline
in the US. Its called the GT-R, has 480 horsepower out of a twin turbine V6
& costs about $85k US.

I think it's pretty safe to say the GT-R will be a "niche" vehicle.

I've been driving for almost forty years. I have never had a need to
look out the rear window of any vehicle I have driven over the years.
Side mirrors are far more accurate to use to keep track of what is going
on around any vehicle.

HE's not dangerous, he's implying that YOU are.

And if you're using your side-view mirrors as rear-view mirrors, then
you've got them aimed wrongly.
