opening the lid and peeking in is part of regular maintenance. Do you have a sight tube for your oil in your engine? Transmission fluid/gear oil? Blinker fluid?
Now if I can come up with a way to have a "sight" window on the tank not a piece of tubing hanging off the side then I'm all for it!

you do realize that it's a little more of a pain in the *** to check fluid levels in a metal tank than a clear plastic one, right? So if there's an easy solution out there that customers want that offends your sense of aesthetics, you might have to get over yourself and do it unless you can come up with a better idea. I for one won't be purchasing a tank I can't look at and tell fluid levels.

Nissan gave it a ton of thought too, and made a conscious decision to change to a pressurized system. I'd defer to them on something like that.
