Big side mirrors are demanded by national legislation in many contries around the world. Thier functionalyity is prescribed. And engineers have to obey those rules. Especially the new EU law is very strict ... so expect big mirrors on smaller cars as well.

Pillar-less SAV? I don't thnik so. They are needed for structural rigidity . especially in the car of that size and weight.



V8 turbo engine is coming. Not sure if already at the launch though.
