When will a-pillars finally obstruct the whole view out of the car?

>mfw can't see shit when taking a blind turn
Well, at least I won't die if the car rolls, I guess.

>>15636379
Why not simply refrain from rolling the car?

>>15635157
I have this shit in my Fusion and it pisses me the fuck off, never had this problem until this car, every other fucking car was like a greenhouse compared to this thing

>>15636392
I have a focus and i imagine it's about the same amount of obstruction.

>>15636406
It has to be better in a Fusion because it's a bigger car, I couldn't imagine having a thick ass A-Pillar in a smaller car, that would be fucked

remember when volvo thought about giving the driver EVEN MORE visibility back when visibility was actually considered a safety critical thing?

totally unbelievable nowadays.

Ride a motorcycle. No pillars anywhere. Unless you're riding that one BMW moped.

Let me tell you what, an Abrams has better visibility and less pigfat than your landbarge.

It even happened with econoboxes too. Looking through the rearview mirror in a modern Corolla is like looking through a gook's eyelids.

>>15636532
thanks, I feel old now

>tfw you're here forever

One of the many things I like about my Volvo 245 is the visibility. There are almost no obstructions, every pillar is very thin even the A, but they're also strong and will be fine in a rollover.

I saw a crushed 240 at the PnP, and the crusher could only get the roof squashed with about almost a foot of space before the doors; Volvo stronk.

i thouoght the front pillars were so thick so that airbags can be put in them now?

>>15636515
jesus christ lmao. i hope they at least put a door on that huge compartment so you can use it for storage

>>15636852
That is why but it's fucking stupid, engineers should just be able to design the unibody to not warrant the installation of such useless garbage

I'm sure the designers saw no problem with it though

>>15635157
You know what OP? You raise a great point.

Why don't they just build a car without A pillars? I don't understand why they haven't thought of that before???? Holy Shit OP I think you might be the smartest person on earth. For real - you are really smart. Like, you must have an IQ of 4,500,880.

Jesus.

>tfw 4th F-body owner

Not pictured: Very reasonably sized A pillars, which are invisible from the outside for extra style points

It's like some people don't realize they have this thing called a neck and that it's capable of allowing this other thing called a head to tilt and pivot along its axis.

When the air bag deploys

>>15637801

You're the one who's overreacting like a bitch tho, his point is that newer A pillars are thicker than older A pillars from the 90s and earlier. At some point you would think manufacturers would use stronger metals to make them thinner to improve visibility AND stiffness, in case of a roll over. Nope.

How else are the manufacturers going to add in a bazillion airbags for muh safety?

>>15636388
It's a fiat punto, it'll roll at 15 mph

If you want speed and visibility buy a motorcycle

Until americans are no longer required to use a car in order to keep up with unpredictable work schedules and changing bus schedules (and in the winter, fuck man), cars are going to be overregulated to protect people who don't know what they're getting into and don't want to get into it.

Nobody needs a bike, so on a bike you are free.

You guys fail to realize what car companies are pushing for. The next big jump will be no windows what so ever. Everything will be cameras and sensors. Once self driving cars become the norm there probably won't be cameras even that show the outside. Just sensors. You get in your little box, turn on your TV or tablet or whatever and diddle around on Facebook until your car bings and informs you that you've arrived.

When will OP stop sucking dicks?

Drove one of these the other day.

Man. Don't know how anyone drives one of these safely. Modern hatchbacks are fucking dangerous.

>>15635157
High dash beltline, massive pillars, dorrs you can't hang an arm out, rear windows the size of a postbox... it's like people don't even want to drive their cars.....................................................

I hate the very idea of a coupe. If it has two doors it should have two seats. End of fucking lesson.

those are some lovely airbags in that pillar
