Sit in a CTS Coupe. Swing those visors down - perfect, swing it left and wow look at that - it extends, and perfectly blocks the left window sun.

It can be done, just takes a designer with basic design skills.
I hear your complaint and I know it's valid. For me it isn't a problem, the sunvisor is great. And the Camaro sunvisor is very close to what is in our Sky, which also works great for me.

But please don't make claims about how easy it is without knowing what that engineer has to comprehend to get that sunvisor in there. When you've done one or two come on back. Until then, I know the people that do and it isn't quite as easy as you think. Not saying it's "rocket science", it's just not as easy as you are making it out to be. And you guys should know by now, I will hear any complaint about your Camaros and I usually pass them on (most are already comprehended by the way and sometimes it is diretly from C5) but I get defensive when you guys start talking about some lack of capability by the team at GM working on this and other cars.

There I feel better now.

What is that car again?
