Your recollection is correct.  They have quite a bit more room than a Pantera inside, and are certainly more 
comfortable.  I'm six feet tall and had to have the seat several clicks forward of the rearmost position to be 
seated correctly.

Tom Selleck was still never really 'in' that car; his head stuck out through the top and there is no way they 
could fit the roof on.
