Yup... sorry but the commentary about interior dimensions is correct. But nevertheless I am quite sure that no matter what is mentioned here, there will be those who absolutely will never be convinced that nuttin' other than their big slabs of cars on floaty springs could possibly not be the best thing since sliced bread. I grew up in middle America where that general attitude existed, so I'm not surprised.

And space is extremely important. We are a large family and do a lot together. It's nice to ride together with plenty of room. We have a weekend beach home, go to dinner together etc. All this seems lost on this review. My children are 6 foot, and even my wife is tall 5'10. What's the demographic of those that buy new luxury cars? My opinion is they want a very roomy, nice, well appointed vehicle. And a large trunk or storage space if an SUV. People want something nicer, not an average, small or even subcompact. The long wheelbase is significant. Personally I don't want to ride in a really small, quiet electric car, also listening to the gas slosh back and forth in the tank in the back. Where does a family of 4 or 4 sit in such a vehicle? I guess we could buy a few and follow each other. If you look under luxury cars, is it listed? Not seeing the comparison unless it's gizmos. It is not a roomy, comfortable late model that you can change the suspension mode for great handling.
I think this conversation and full size reality definition has been very well covered. Time to wrap it up soon.
