reverse cam and turning your head looking side to side.

i think it'd be quite useful especially when pulling out of driveways on road bends or certain parking garages...infiniti also put out a comparable feature on their new EX concept...only difference is that it actually has cameras all around it and gives you a 360 view instead of just a panoramic forward view...

@ Koma
i could see how the high back end of the IS could be a problem for your sister...the wide back pillar, headrests, and high back end make it worse...im 6 foot and at night i've got to strain to see my blind spot when changing lanes...it'd be hard to see a miata or some other tiny car back there...
