I sat in the TRD variant at the Tokyo Auto Salon last weekend.

I'm around 6'2".

I fit alright, as long as I don't want to carry anyone in the back seat as there was absolutely no room. With the seat all the way back my legs were still bent a decent amount up behind the steering wheel, and the was only about 5cm of space for the rear passengers legs.

6'7" might be pushing it but it depends if your height is in your legs or torso.

Had a few inches of headroom left (plenty for a helmet), but this was in the TRD seats - can't speak for stock.

Remember, this car was designed by Japanese people - Japanese people are shorter on average. Everything in Japan is made for shorter people (trust me, I've hit plenty of stuff with my head over there) This car is no different.

To me it felt there was less leg room than your standard 90's Celica.

I was looking up news on the Scion website, the last time they did a price release for one of their release series cars, it was less than a month before it went on sale

Is my payment going to be $330 or $335 a month? This is bogus! I can't decide whether or not to get this car because they won't release the price. There's no telling what it could end up being. Ahhhh!

Well I went to the Scion booth at the NAIAS. Despite my best efforts, not even first86 people with deposits on the car can sit in it. I just hope that doesn't mean they plan on making extra wide seats for 300lb Americans. The seats look just about perfect, I want to wear my car, and not slide over around in the 4 extra inches they added for fat people.

With that rant over I like the Scion a front bumper better, but I also really like the spoiler Subaru has on the car. It really gives the back a nice finished look, I hope scion has something similar available.
