When it comes to smaller cars and sports cars its to be expected that you'll have to make some compromises, including visibility. Designs for sportscars often dictate an emphasis on aesthetics which in turn compromise visibility in different areas. A small compromise I say when you look at the end sum of what you're getting.

I had an 02 s2000 and definately have to second that visability issue. God awful.

Did the 350z have that same dot matrix above the rearview mirror? I wonder how that effects radar detector performance if one were to hardwire one and mount it up there.

haha, the rear quarter window is hilarious. I'm guessing its there to just let some light in rather than for anyone to actually try to see out of it.

Great pictures, I especially like the rear view mirror one. Its not THAT bad... at least you don't have to sit on the door sill and look out the side of the car to reverse like the Murcielago drivers.
