by my measurements, assuming the wheels are 17" like at the show, the people in this diagram are 4'9"... being 6'4", that worries me

If that is the Toyota concept like the background suggests, than those are 18" wheels at least. If they aren't 20", geez, those are huge wheels.

4' 9" is definitely not accurate. The concept car should be 50" tall, and that would make the people only 9" taller than the car. Which doesn't look right to me.

I literally burst out laughing after reading this for a good 15 seconds. But I agree with Allch, basing off the supposed ride height, that just isn't plausible. Aren't there any great photochoppers who can extract one of the figures in the car to stand them up next to the car? Just for kicks, it'd be good perspective

This pic shows a guy standing next to the concept. Or maybe I should say towering over it. The car barely comes up to his waist.



Mannequin dude is definitely not 4' 9". 5' 6" would be my guess. About the same size as the lady in front of the car in this pic. Someone figure out her height in rims

regardless of the mannequin dude's measured size, in the picture, that is the scale in relation to the car, so the diagram is like not to proportion, is is just to show the layout the seats/drivetrain
