Actually it wasn't that small inside, just everything was in the wrong place. It just didn't feel right.

I think the sky redline will be hot. I'd buy one if I had a place to park it (oh, and the money to buy it).

For small and cute, I'd have to say the mini s is the winner. I can't remember if you can get the s in a convertable or not.

Pontiac GTO
G35
Lexus SC (The old ones)

The new ones aren't exactly man-sized either.

yeah but the new ones look like butt toys.

Manuf put in THICK seats. If they put in thinner seats, that raised up (Ala Impreza seats) then they would open things up for tall people.

would have loved to have one of the 400hp GTOs.
