A design I always wondered about after seeing the Lexus LFA was a mirror sitting right next to the A-pillar with a long housing extending ahead of the windshield. That would presumably weaken the A pillar vortices.

*Some of the low-drag concepts place the mirror below the cowl level to get them below that accelerated A-pillar flow.(Probe IV)
*Ford has done this with their F-150,which has a special cut down side windows for which to see the lowered units.
*Subaru moved their XT mirrors out 80mm from the body,into slower air and killed most of the interference.
*Ditto with GM Impact.
