I know the trend is to put passengers lower in the car for safety, but - damn - they look really odd to me when the only thing you see is their heads poking above the doorline.
This is all for sake of safety. Higher door height will most likely result in lesser risk of injury from side impact... you cannot put your arm out the door like all old cars. You feel like you're sitting inside a tank with your head poking out. This is the one reason why I'm keeping my 986 for a long long time...

Oh no, they copied the MR2, how cheap; was my first thought. Ok, enough about the funky body styling. We need details of the power supply, tranny and suspension options.

A few of you were thinking MR2... The first thing I thought of is Carrera GT.

Looks like most manufacturers are going smaller glass due to safety.
