I don't know if it's pointless. I drove my buddy's Yaris and its pillars are huge and annoying. The window might be an ok work-around. But we'll have to drive it to know for sure.

yeah, someone from 3rd grade or younger. Usually game reviewers are on top of their game

It's more asthetic than anything. I bet the Yaris' pillars are huge annoying since that car has 0 appeal. The FT pillars are thin enough that they won't cause too much blind spots.

True we probably won't know until we see the final production if it will even have that window. If they equip it with side curtain airbags, then I would highly doubt it.

If you like the windows, tell yourself it will make it because it can reduce blind spots... If you dont, then tell yourself it will hinder crash safety. Kinda could go both ways don't ya think?

Optimistically speaking, I hope it has a solid pillar because if a small window will help reduce blind spots, I'm an accident waiting to happen.

Ya, I saw that in a episode of Top Gear. They developed the software for the GT-R like the G measurements and such.

I think to be able to create an accurate model of the car in game, they would have to see it for themselves. I'm sure that is what went down since both companies are Japanese.
