^Exactly. And any time there is snow on the back, just turn on the defroster once you scrape after a large snowfall.

I guess I just think wipers on the rear are tacky on a sports car.

Good thing I drive a 4-door family sedan then. Even with Rain-X the rear glass doesn't clear itself off perfectly and since I'm particular about my vision I like all the snow and rain drops gone. Plus, this way I don't need to brush off snow in the winter.

LOL, I bet your insurance rates don't agree with that. But seriously, how many sedans do you see with rear wipers? It is sort of weird they have them.

Personal preference I suppose, like everything else on cars...

How many sedans can be heard from a 1/2 mile away and have huge wings tacked on their trunks? The Evo isn't really ordinary. I wish more cars did have rear wipers though; I loved having one on my DSM's and I feel the same about it on my Evo. Janelle has also commented on how she wishes her WRX had one.

I know too many Hondas that meet that criteria.

I also know too many Hondas with purple turn signals and yellow brake calipers

Haha! I was going to say, I don't drive a sports car, I drive a rally car! That rear wiper is rally-inspired, because it is very useful!

Hughes, how can you say you are concerned about your rear vision when you have a plank going right across your rear window blocking your view! :P

That plank is perfectly placed to block the headlights of cars behind me from shining into my mirror!
