lexus es350 2014 Complaints

STRUCTURE:BODY

because of the government's efforts to increase mileage per gallon, auto manufacturers have reduced wind resistance to the extent possible. one of the ways manufacturers do this is by lowering the front fenders and the hood to the point where the driver can no longer see them. this makes it more difficult to park the car, make turns, and drive in general---far more dangerous to drive.
