Interior looks extremely futuristic; seats are comfortable but I still can't get over the design of the rear windows —from the inside, looks like you are sitting in an armored truck.

What I said about outward visibility. Today, back-up sensors and rear-view cameras are almost mandatory, as the stylists have made it difficult to see out the back, and impossible to see the rear corners of the vehicle.
Decades ago, cyclists had to worry about being impaled on huge tail-fins. Today they have to worry about being invisible to automobile drivers. At least with the fins, a driver could see the rear corners!
