Because that's where it should be. LOL

And Brett, that's a cool looking car that. What is it? Not seen one here. Looks like a Pontiac badge on the grill. But then not too sure what the Pontiac badge looks like. LOL

That, my good friend, is the Pontiac Aztek. Quite arguably, the ugliest looking car in the world. Pictures simply do not do that monstrosity of GM plastic (interior and exterior) design justice. There are just no redeeming body lines about that car, it is simply angles and body-cladding clashing in a display of utter horror.

And, well, <cough> ahem, Brett.. if thats yer new car... Congrats!!! (and don't read the previous paragraph)

That's the secret camera! LOL j/k

This car is also a Jap import & 'cause the Japanese people are so small they can't see the corner of the car when parking, so this is their guide.

You will find this mostly on the bigger cars & 4x4 trucks. Prado's, Pajero's etc.

Some also have mirrors on the front of the fender to assist when parking next to the kerb. Check out pics 16 & 17

You actually like the Aztek!?!?! It was the biggest fail in GM history lol. One of the ugliest cars ever produced. I can't believe I still see some of them driving around.

I bet that's pretty tippy..with such a short wheelbase and being so high up. Either way you look at it..it's still a smart car which = garbage (IMO).
