so many smaller cars are built BIGGER than they look... had a friend 6ft5 and rather large sit in my jazz and his jaw dropped that he could fit.

poor car needed double its torque to drag his *** around though!

Yeh! I was wondering about that.! if they up'd the sizes of seats and cars.
Thin people would look like a child, sitting in a Recaro Armchair. We would roll from side to side awaiting for the side arms to stop you when cornering hard.

If they increase the size of cars to fit the bigger seats, the streets ain't getting bigger and some streets on the surfers paralice are only built for 2 bikes towing surfboards..!

It makes my brain hurt to think we have grown out of size proportions to even think this is on the drawing table.

This idea will make all us thin people looking out of place.

Viva-La the Thin People, Viva-La the lightweight Car.!!

I tried to drive a JDM Honda S2000 when I was working at the dealership, designed for a small 55kg Japanese person, it didn't work well.

The seats in my 1982 RA60 Celica seem to be just fine, and it's a fully imported car. Interestingly, no one on the design team for the "new look" Celica at the time was over 25 years old...so you'd think they might have stuffed up and made the seats to suit skinny little Japanese guys.

Yeah the JDM version of the S2000 is actually balanced around the weight of the 55KG person.
