Was fun meeting some of you guys today. Looking forward to buying it. The WRB looked really good. I know that

but I will say this, I'd recommend anyone that sits in the back to take off their shoes if more than a short drive. Feet get kinda squished underneath the seat in front of you. Also I'd say anyone 6' would have trouble with headroom in the back.

For what it's worth, I was 5'6" sitting in the back with my 5' 1" friend in front in her normal driving position behind the wheel and we were both very comfortable. I had about 4-5" from legs to back of drivers seat. When we reversed positions she said she had about 2-3". With my 6'2" friend in the drivers seat you can't fit anyone behind him unless you know someone with only 2-3" thick legs. On the passenger side, my 6'2" friend in front and 5' 1" friend behind him worked each having 2 finger widths of space. Reversed, their leg space doubled but not enough headroom in back. Either way, seats were comfortable.

See for yourself

Lights on:

People who were there around 11-12-ish got one of these:

Borrowed the keyfob for a sec

************************************************** **
I'm about 5'6, 200lbs. I set the driver's seat to my driving position, and tried getting in the back. Here's the result:

Could not even get my other foot inside. Edge of the seat was hitting my toe. Might just be because I'm fat though lolol

************************************************** **
Also, earlier in the day they started the car and gave it a few revs - poorman's LFA might have a better recording, but here:

rosuhere · 03-03-2012, 08:52 PM

i just got back... it was a canine party up in there !

hehe...

the car looked great and the wr blue ii is a nice color, but not my cup of tea...
i didn't snap any pix since my friend took plenty with his iphone.

there is almost no leg room in the back with the front seats positioned in it's "normal" position, but i do not care about that; i just need the room to throw some of my gear in the back...

i spoke to James [the GM] and he told me they have not started taking pre-orders yet, but will most likely start on monday, since that's when he is supposed to get more info from corporate...

he informed me that they have no plans to mark up the car, just sell it at msrp...

i will contact him on monday and go from there...
