Hmmm. Yes, I agree. I set up my mirrors so that the edges of my rear-view is where the side mirrors begin. It's funny how EVERYONE'S car I've driven sets up their side mirrors so that they can see the side of their car. That's probably why so many people nearly crash when changing lanes on the freeway. For them, they HAVE to turn to check blind spots and if they get lazy... And that's a pretty dangerous design flaw if they angle the side mirrors in the way you describe. Manufacturers should keep the mirrors at close to 90 degrees to the car's body. Then if you want aerodynamics, add some plastic up front at sharp angles to decrease wind-resistance.
Edit: To make this more on-topic, let's discuss the size/bulk/angles of the side mirrors on the camouflaged test car.
