pwd72s, those things look like they could be kinda hard to get into... you know, that low roofline? Did you have to contort to get in, but fit okay after you got in?

I am constantly amazed at the ergonomics of what it takes to get in some cars.

Even cars that you'd think should be easy to get in without hitting your head or having to contort your head and neck.

For example, this Lincoln Town Car:



I rode in one back in October with friends to a blues festival. Front passenger seat. See how the top of that door scoops over into the roof a bit?

The engineers just did that to fool ya... the padded interior juts way down. I'm only 6 feet... but I had to jam my chin into my chest or try to lay my head 45 degrees sideways to get in.

I never imagined that could be necessary in a bigazz car like a Lincoln.
