Think how much the copier repairman or small delivery guys can save driving one of these. I also foresee some amazing murals on customized panel HHRs like we used to see on vans. It's not something I would buy but I'm glad others have the choice. Smart move, Chevy!

I love it and blind spots don't bother me anyhow...I am mostly blind in one eye since last year so I only see blind spots half as well.

Im leaning more towards its ok i hate that the interior still has the cut outs in the back for the windows it would be cool if it was a panel inside too.

Have you seen inside one? They do not look as bad as you might think. At least I didnt think so. Cutouts are there, but you can fill them in with speakers or if it is a work panel then they might come in handy for mounting things and be out of the way of the back window

Thumbs up

I learned a trick a long time ago, when driving a cargo van. This stop blind spots for me.

1.) For the right hand side (Passenger) mirror. Sit in the middle of the two seat. Have someone turn that mirror til you can see the right side of the car.

2.)For the Left hand side (Driver side) mirror. Put your head up against the window. Now turn that mirror til you can see the left side of the car.

Now when you seat in the driver seat and look out either mirror, you see the vehicles coming up along the blind side.

well there's only one little teeny tiny problem with that. If you adjust your mirrors outward like that, you can't see the traffic of the cars coming up on you that are some distance away. The way I solve my problem in my 98 Camaro Z28 is to place small round mirrors on the outer edges of the side mirrors. A 3" one on the pass. side and a 2" one on the driver's side. Works great and you get the best of both worlds. I never have to swivel my neck just to check my blind spots, b/c I don't have any. Just my. $.02.
