You are all missing my point.

You asking about improving blind spots won't change a thing right now. Trust me, they know about the blind spots. There were massive internal fights about it, between Holden and GM NA, as well as internally at GM NA. Wars were waged in design rooms and engineering offices. People went to other programs because of the fights just about the roof hight of the car.
Trust me, they don't need you to tell them. They didn't just throw a bunch of mathematical engineering numbers into a 3D machine, and out popped a Camaro, and once they got in it they said "oh ****...it might be a little hard to look out of this car."

They know. Believe me, they know.

Let me put this in your mind. If some engineers got their way, and visibility was increased, it would have looked more like a GTO with some Camaro body pannels.
