Back Seat Space

[Muzhik]

I'm posting a photo that came from a New York Daily News article about the 2014 LA Auto Show. It shows two models sitting in a Giugiaro Clipper, with the one in the back seat wearing what looks like 4-inch needle heels.

Now, in my mind, this raises a few questions:

1. Does the model in front have her seat pushed back because she also is wearing 4" heels and that's the only way her feet can use the pedals?
2. Does the model in the back seat have her knees up to her chin because of her heels or is there really that little amount of space?
3. Does this mean when you're taking your supermodel girlfriend and her two besties out on the town, that the besties need to be really short? And finally;
4. How well do you think this model would fit in the back seat of an Elio? (And I mean SITTING, not folded up and put in the back with the seat placed down.)

There's also the question of whether or not the model's heels are going to punch a hole in the floorboards, but I don't think that will be an issue with the Elio. American women are too sensible to wear those kinds of heels when going out on the town.

A lot of people like to sit so far back that they can't even fully depress the brake pedal. I'm 6'2" and don't have the seat pushed all the way back in an of my cars except for the wife's [late] Mazda5, which had zero leg room in all three rows.

If your driving your date in an Elio, you have other problems beside back-seat heel room.
...
Or you're in college.

I'd say the latter.

Supposedly they had a 6'8 350-400+lbs guy sit in both the front and back seat and it was fine.

What problems are those?

Ah, I can hear it now:

"AGAIN?! Sometimes I think you forget to plug in the car on purpose JUST so we have to take your little toy. Well, if it's not charged by tomorrow, mister, YOU'RE the one who's going to be late for work, because YOU'RE going to be driving ME!"

She doesn't know how a cord plugs into the wall?
