The first sixth gen I sat in was a rental car, for an 8 hour round trip. I had been in the market and had read the various group-think reviews complaining about visibility. I correctly set my mirrors and after the "8 hour test drive" (as I like to call it), it was plain to see that the hand- wringing reviews were overblown. But it was a bandwagon people seemed willing to jump right on without giving the car a fair shake. And situational awareness is even better with the blind spot monitors and video rear mirror.

I highlighted what sets you apart from a vast majority of the driving public. I have shown countless numbers of friends and relatives how to set their mirrors to eliminate blindspots. Most of them have gone back to the "normal" way of setting their mirrors. The way where when you look in the mirror you see the side of your own car. THAT is the type of person Chevrolet still needs to sell to. That is the type of person that will sit in the car in the showroom and say "Wow...blindspot. This falls off my shopping list". They will, as you point out, not give the car a fair shake. So GM either needs to take that excuse away from them (significantly improve visibility) or just deal with the fact that a large number of potential buyers will walk away from the car over something that they (shoppers) can easily correct.
