>>>They seem to have perfected the reverse ergonomics :). I used to drive a Renault 4 and a Peugeot 504 (from the eighties) and both were perfectly comfortable, French style. Even a 2CV was nice to sit in,

>>Spoken like someone who is not 6' 2" {s} I find a Toyota unpleasant after two or three minutes. Never sure what genius decided they didn't need to extend the tracks the seats move on another 6 inches in the back.

>At 5'10" I still have relatively long limbs, but that's a problem only while negotiating my way into the seat. Maybe my comfortable position looks strange (seat not that far, but leaned about 15 degrees more back than most do), but I managed to drive a thousand miles in two days twice last year (yep, came back as well :) without getting any pain anywhere. Just tired.

I could use another 2" even in my STS. The Dodge Dakota isn't bad since truck seats are up higher and that adds to the leg room (though I found Ford Rangers impossible) There hasn't been anyone in the back seat of my car since I bought it, so I'm not really too worried about that.

Just seems it would be smart for car manufacturers to extend that rail another 6" so they could expand their potential client base very inexpensively. I looked at a lot of cars i really liked that I couldn't buy/drive and I'm sure there are a million guys who've experienced the same thing. Ever notice how many basketball players driver Escalades?
