What is wrong??

[101mpg]

I totally agreee with this. I'd buy the Ford Prodigy if they even made the thing because it gets 70 MPG and can hold an actual family.

What is with the ganster slit vehicles? They look ridiculous. Some even make me motion sick. Like the HHR - "High head Room?" WTH? I am 6'3" and have the legs of someone 5'8" so I NEED that headroom. Except that I am up so high I can't see down to that slit of a stupid winshield!!

I don't know how many people I know that have talked about how they like the visibility of a truck or SUV because of the high stance...meanwhile this is coming from a single woman who weighs in at a whopping 140 lbs. My counterarguement is that any new cars out in the last 5 years feel like a pillbox to me. HUGE pillars blocking the horizontal, low rooflines to restrict upward view (stoplights) the windshield is feet in front of me so the entire field is restricted...for safety? It's got 15 airbags so when the driver runs over a compact car they coudln't see because of the pillars (airbags) and roll over, the driver will be safe.
