Saw a V40 wagon on the road today and noticed that the side mirrors were kind-of floating out in space. Looks like Volvo used a narrow mount to hang the mirrors off the car a good ways. In doing a google search, I think they auto fold when the car is parked.
I'm interested to hear critiques on this design. Kind of seems like a step toward motorcycle or super car mirrors. Seems like a lot of air would be able to pass between the body and mirror body but I'm no expert so I open the topic of discussion...
Thanks,
