Question Folding side mirrors?

Here in Europe you can get side mirrors that fold in for when you are in a tight squeeze. At least they exist for the recent TA. Are these sold in the US?

I hate to be the one to say it, but folding mirrors are I mean they put the ricers get them because they come stock on most of their cars in Japan, not all models but most. They might be usefull for those people with small spaces to traverse for parking, but it is just too ricey for me. Plus I dont think there could be folding mirrors for the camaro...just dosnt seem plausable.

not to knock on anyone, but how the hell are folding side mirrors anywhere near rice?...its a great idea used on tons of cars so you dont have to worry about hitting your mirrors...and about a small garage, i do myself park in a small garage at home, and its a pain walking between 2 cars when the mirrors between the 2 cars are 8 inches apart, luckily my mom has folding mirrors on her Envoy, otherwise id also be looking for some for my trans am...

Here in England the roads are stupidly narrow. A typical non-major road is about 3.1 cars wide, and they allow parking on both sides of the street and two way traffic! So when you run into a car coming the other way down the street one of you has to actually park while the other one squeezes through! You often have to pull the mirrors in to avoid scraping the parked cars, and my car is one of the only ones in the country where you can't pull the mirrors in (there are very very few TAs here)...
