It looks nice.

A car needs the blade to rotate through at least 90° during sweep though, so the only advantage I can see in a two arm system like that is where the sweep length goes beyond a 90° radial and they want to keep the arm near parallel with the A pillar at the end of sweep.

It makes more sense on trucks and trains where the large arms are centrally mounted and the dual arm is used to keep the blade at a constant angle on the screen.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
