For those of you that have actually seen the 05s, how big are they compared to the SN95s. According to what I have read they are an inch higher. My 94 is lowered about an inch so this would mean that the new car is 2 inches taller than mine. The pictures don't look like it but I guess you need a side by side comparison.

I like the car and may just end up with one eventually.

All I can say is I am 6'4'' and 250 lbs... I never really "fit" into any of the SN-95 cars... But I set in the 05s we have at the dealer and I sorta fell into them. lol I had to actually pull the seat up a little to get comfy. Also, the roof line is JUST right... It actually curves up like a little bubble... my head doesn't hit the roof! It's got much more room then I expected!

I sat in an 05 yesterday and it doesn't feel any bigger. I am only 5'9, so I'll fit into anything. I must say....that car F-In Rocks! Oh my head is it sweet. I saw no real problems with the materials, the one i sat in had the brushed aluminum. Still much much better than the 04's and earlier.
