I bet you wouldn't have much use for it over there even if you had a vehicle with a rear wiper!

Thanks for your service - it's appreciated - come home safe.

With all the dust in the are and how fast it collects on the cars out here the rear wiper would be used every single day. Especially when it rains as it doesnt just sprinkle it dumps! Yes, a rear wiper would be very useful. Now as far as back in the states, I used mine alot when i was in Hawaii and I KNOw i would have needed it in GA especially during the rain.

Becuase they had a goal with this vehilce, and one of these goals was to lower the weight of the car, hence no rear wiper.

All the Australian models come with rear wipers. I think the goal was directed more to reducing the cost by leaving off some of the options. We don't get the 19" wheels but we have the rear wipers and heated mirrors

In the UK we get the rear wiper, heated/retracting wing mirrors AND 19" wheels - BUT WE DON'T GET A SPARE WHEEL

wtf is that about?

i think it's useless and the motor is heavy.
I remove rear wipers on every car.

The only benefit I got from the rear wiper on my 350z was when I backed out of my driveway and needed to wipe off the dew to see behind me. It would take a lot of patience to wait for the rear defrost to work. And when the door mirrors are fogged up as well it makes it difficult to see whats behind you.

All in all I'm glad its not on the 370....weight and looks are compromised for a little functionality
