Exclamation Evo X should have come with a rear wiper!

Imo i think the Evo X should have come with the rear wiper just like the previous Evos..It sucks in the morning that my window is all fogged up and i theres no wiper.. Or sometimes it rains hard and the visibility is bad...Anyone else agree?

I personally don't have much of a problem without one, but I'm kind of curious as to why we don't. Why have one on the IX and take it off for the "more refined, better DD" X?

i have to say that i also wished we had the rear wipers. evo's in past generations are known to have the rear wipers and also wished they kept it for the X. it is like their trademark.

I never noticed that the X's didn't have a wiper. That's a +1 in my book for the X because I never once used my rear wiper. In fact, I took it out, as a lot of people do, because it was useless, looked like crap, and kept me out of the 9's since it weighed so much.

Sometimes it would be nice to have one, but overall it's better off without.

I like my rear wiper and would really miss it if I got a X.

i don't like rear wipers nor do i think the x needs one, my opinion. it also makes tinting much more difficult and more costly. when i went to get my windows tinted they asked if it had the rear wiper like the IX did. i said no. they said it would save me about $50 bucks. i got 3 quotes and all were much cheaper without the wiper, a fact.
