also to mention in regards to the length, the 911's engine sits behind the rear axles and is a 6-cylinder.

Most of the pics have been with Japanese people standing next to the car. On average they're a bit shorter than Americans.

For all of us who are 6' or taller, I give you this article:

"The BRZ's small, low footprint is deceiving because the cabin easily accommodates 6-foot-plus adults. Very long front-seat travel helps in this regard, and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes."

What's your point? The 911 has always had lengthy rear overhang as a result of its engine placement. Nothing's stopping Porsche from making the car shorter overall via wheelbase and front overhang. Instead, with the 991 chassis, they chose to make the car even longer with a 4" bump to wheelbase.

This is comforting... I haven't sat in the current 911 but I fit in the previous version with some adjusting.

If I don't fit I'm going to be terribly dissapointed.
