Talking Turn signal

Leaving work today, and i was pulling out of the parking lot into traffic when the guy in the car beside me yells over "Are you trying to get in this lane?" I told him I was, and then he said "do you know how to use a turn signal?" Well, my turn signal was on, so I told him so. He then looks to the rear of my car and says "I don't see it." I told him that it was definately on, and he should look again. When he did, he noticed it was in fact on and just kind of looked straight ahead until the light turned green. I just busted out laughing, because it was such a ridiculous situation. I think he was a little pissed off. Do you guys think the turn signals are really that hard to see?

At night they are, but think they are a little hard to see during the day. Nissan should have put side markers on the US cars too.

Well, I've seen the *** of plenty of Z's on all our SoCal runs and just randomly on the freeway, and while it's easy for ME to see the turn signals b/c I know what to look for, I can see how somebody would miss it.

I think the tiny turn signals ADD to the aggressive/a-s-s-**** (in a good way) appearance of the car.

i love the turn signals the way they are. at first i wanted to disconnect them and rewire the brake light unit to be the brake and the turn signal. but i reconsidered, and am gonna leave it the way it is. i think the reason why people have a hard time seeing the signal is just because its kinda low.

...Glad somebody else thought they were kinda screwy too. Whether they look "cool" or not.. I think it's a poor design, If you're going to use turn signals it would be nice if the guy behind you could see it. There are two areas where it looks like Nissan let one of their engineer trainees work on this car.. those signals and the glove compartment. IMO
