What is that thing on the 2009 Forester hood?
I cant figure out what it is. On the left Fender?
1. Mirror? 2. Parking Assist? 3. 3rd Blinker?

yup, if you've never seen them before, look back at older pics of a lot of cars in japan. very popular to have both your mirrors up on the fender in the 60's n 70's designs.

Precisely! Sad as it may seem, the vast majority of people out there have no interest in making a statement. They are sheep. How else can you possibly explain the previous generation Taurus. Have you ever driven one of those? It's the most bland, generic, lame car ever invented. I also think the entire lineup of Toyota is the same way. The problem is, actions speek louder than words and Toyota is a worldwide automotive juggernaut breaking sales records every quarter. Sad, so sad.

no im not sure thats why i said i think. i used to work at an automotive supplier designing side view mirrors for chrysler/gm/ford. we did 2 of those fender mount mirrors for japan exports, one for the wrangler and one for the neon. im not so sure its a law, but i know there are strict guidlines and specs regarding visibility and mirrors over in japan...much more strict than that of the US. i think it may depend on the vehicle as to whether a fender mount mirror is needed/required, but i know for a fact that japan was the only market we ever had to do that for. you dont see them on alot of newer vehicles in japan because its cheaper to throw a camera on the car then it is to manufacture a mirror these days.
