I think people need to stop buying cars with poor visibility. Car makers will build whatever sells and as long as people keep picking form over function that's what you will get.
+1 - and you got an applaud for that. I like a good-lookin' car as much as the next lady or gent, but not at the expense of outward visibility. I think that buying these Hyundai/Kia/Mazda/whatever else has poor outward visibility is just buying into the notion that looks are more important than functionality.
I'm positive that one of the Forester's biggest selling features is the mammoth rear visibility, and Subaru wouldn't get rid of that, ever. I'm almost positive it's what sold us on the Fozzie over the Tiguan (that, and the far better AWD feeling)
