lol, you're welcome to believe what you like. I counted last night and I've owned vehicles from the following makes:
- Pontiac
- Chevrolet
- Ford
- Nissan
- BMW
- Toyota
- Mazda
- GMC
- Acura
- KIA
- Mercedes
- MINI
- Chrysler
- VW
Multiples of many of those, BTW. It's not like I don't know fataing cars and I'm pretty aware of what I can and can't sit in. Newer cars have become more cramped because of all the safety features inside. You didn't know this? That's weird. I mean, it won't affect people of average height because auto manufacturers make vehicles for people of average proportions. When you're taller, though, you can be left out of design accommodations.
I really don't see what is so hard to understand about this. There is an entire subreddit dedicated to tall people (r/tall) and a huge topic of conversation on there is what cars fit best for tall people. The choices become more limited with each model year and I believe they are purposely limiting the range of telescoping wheels so people don't bring airbags too close to their chest. Good for average-sized people; deal breaker for tall people.
I don't know what the height is - I know I'm too short for it, but not by a ton - but really tall guys qualify for disability benefits to help them navigate a world that does not fit them. Again, believe it or don't. Maybe you're an ableist? IDK. I mean, I can tell you they don't sell shoes or socks in stores that fit me - I have to order online. Shirts are too short for me, I have to buy from "American Tall" (specialty site for tall people) as if you go for XXL or XXXL they get wider as they get taller and I'm not obese so it looks like I'm wearing a moomoo (sp?) if I just shop at, like, Mr. Big & Tall.
I don't want a coupe, though. I need to take my kids and their friends around sometimes and coupes suck for that. I want a four door, I found one that works, so why do you want me to look at coupes when I don't want a coupe lol? The B-pillar example was specific to the 3-series. I've explained the issue with the other vehicles.
