The nit pick about a rear view camera is a little absurd, it's a small car, not a motor home. I certainly wouldn't want it, but I buy cars and keep them forever. I want as few gizmos as possible.
The US gov't mandated all cars must have rear view cameras by 2016 so get used to it. $25K cars have them now and this is a case where size doesn't matter. If you are backing out of a garage and have kids, pets or anything directly behind you it's a must.
The law begins phasing in May 1, 2016 so if you have a used car without one you will have a much harder time selling it. It's like selling a car in the 60's without seat belts except it was much easier to add seat belts to a car without them.
