Its an exclusive offer to me only.. Im so stoked.. If i fit comfortably in this car then toyota had truly done something amazing.. I loved the release series tC i had two years ago.. Had to sell it though. Not enough headroom because of sunroof.. Super excited to meet a bunch if enthusiasts
That's pretty cool! They probably also want to know how well they did making the car accommodate people of different shapes and sizes. I've got to think one of their design goals was to be as comfortable to as many folks as possible. They don't want consumers to rule them our just because they can't fit comfortably.

Have fun and let us know how it goes!

That's same shirt they've been giving out at the auto shows. I got on in Chicago, but it was huge, so perhaps my package arriving Wednesday will have one that actually fits me

Now that I've seen a picture, I'm still confused: what's the purpose of an "anti skid pad"? What is it supposed to stop from skidding?

I was wondering the same thing. I had originally thought maybe it was one of those pads you put on your dash to keep your cell phone from moving around. Guess not.

Got my UPS notice mine's being delivered today. Sweet.

Anti-skid pad...

I gave the anti-skid pads to my 2 youngest children and told them they were stickers. They were just as happy to get these anti-skid pads as they would have been to get stickers. ;-)

Not to burst any bubbles, but on another forum I read a 6'8" guy fit. I don't know if he is as large however.

That is good news.

I am 6'7", so it is good to hear that a 6'8" guy fit. Pictures would be good to see on that.
