    And i just figured it out. By moving the mirror back on the passenger side. You have a symmetrical visual view of the drivers/passenger mirror from the driving position. If you slid the passenger mirror forward the 2" or so the mirror would actually appear to be 2" further forward since the mirror glass would be running into the visual point of the door triangle.

    So, my opinion is by having the passenger mirror further back is allowed for a less distracted view of the passenger mirror since it visually is nearly identical to the drivers mirror.

    Because DSM's are a different car, and a smaller car.

    i don't see how that factors in at all. i've seen everything from sub-sub-compacts to super-duty trucks with the mirrors on the door triangle.

    There is a lot of factors to consider in mirror placement and it can vary on budget(platform sharing), seating position, car width, size of the mirror, etc. If they were on the door triangle there would be a decent size blind spot on your drivers front caused by looking into/at the mirror vs looking over/past the mirror currently as it sits.

    I have HUGE blind spots on my Grand Prix. Guess where the mirror is located? That's right, on the triangle.

    I have the mirror properly adjusted and between losing cars in the mirror when I know they are beside me, to not seeing cars that are to the left and just in front of me, it gets old, fast.

    The Stealth has damn near ZERO blind spots.

    and the incorrect year. the triangle needs to be the same size, or you may as well throw away your money.
