i agree. i have a friend who drives an audi TT and whenever she's in an SUV, she says that the cars behind her always look like they're much closer than when she's in her car. the rear of an suv is so much higher than a car's that headlights on the vehicle behind you move below your line of sight from the rear view mirror sooner. so, the car behind you may not really be that close though it may look like it...
