   That's the problem with huge A/B/C pillars in modern vehicles.  They say   
   that it's for roll-over safety, but I'd rather be able to see behind me   
   clearly.   
      
   Modern SUV's are dangerous with their limited view.  I read a study   
   where 8 children can sit in a row from the front bumper forward of a   
   Chevy Suburban until the driver can finally see the top of the last   
   one's head.  That's a very limited range of view due to being jacked up   
   so high with a large hood.  Smaller, lower cars are safer than SUV's and   
   trucks.

   I believe you; I will have to take a look at it.
