1. A curved central rearview mirror for a vehicle, comprising:

  • a body having a reflective front surface and a back surface, said front surface having;

    a central planar section;

    a left section having a constant radius of curvature and extending from a left far edge to said central planar section;

    a right section having a constant radius of curvature and extending from a right far edge to said central planar section;

    a pivot having a central axis and connected to the back of said body behind said central planar section, a point on the front surface of the mirror exactly opposite to said pivot along said central axis defining a pivot position;

    wherein the ratio KML of the distance from the left side of the planar section to said pivot position to the distance from said left far edge to said pivot position is between about 1/10 and 9/10; and

    wherein the ratio KMR of the distance from the right side of the planar section to said pivot position to the distance from said right far edge to said pivot position is between about 1/10 and 9/10.
