    Instead of the best seats, engine sound, etc. threads.... what modern exotic has the worst visibility (i.e. 1985+)?

    And yes the title has jumbo shrimp in it... if you know what I mean ;).

    Is there such a thing as a "common exotic"? ;)

    The most recent winner of the bad visibility award is the Mini convertible, which due to it’s temporary rarity I’ll squeak in as an exotic. There is NO direct rear view when reversing. This is because each of the rear seats has a roll bar that goes as high as the wind screen and because the roof sort of accordions down to sit in a lump on top of the bodywork, blocking any view you might have had between the seats.
    To be fair BMW recognize the weakness and sell all the car with an audible reverse warning system. When the beep changes to a flat whine you are one foot away from the wall (or policeman ) behind you. It’s amazing that it’s legal.

    Common exotic is an Oxymoron & there is NOTHING common about a Countach :)

    See jumbo shrimp comment in the original thread William :). How is the visibility in your TR?

    I guess I should explain more. By common exotic I mean one produced in numbers greater than approx. 50. A countach could be counted as an example of this definition. Sorry I wasn't more clear :(.
