the longer i live the more i'm beginning to appreciate that, as they say, "timing is everything". the time for that window was approx 40 years ago. i'd not want that on our coupe. it's tough enough backing up a c5 trying to see what's around, behind, or beside. i can't imagine trying to fight one more obstacle. bub

Maybe if it were a complete redesign / new entire hatch it could work. That one just looks too cheap, a stick on after thought. If it were truley designed as a complete replacement the idea could have potential.

Ah come on guys - we've seen LOTS worse on this forum.
BTW, I wonder what the "patent" they are applying will be for. They must think this is some big technical breakthrough that will have the world producing millions of competing "enhancements".
