Modern cars don't have to be heavy or cramped. My xB has plenty of room inside. Nearly everyone who's looked inside mine has commented how roomy it is. It beats Frank's car in EVERY interior space dimension. I have 46.1" of front headroom v. Frank's 37.5", and 45.7" of rear headroom v. Franks' 36;8". I have 46.8" of front shoulder room, and 50" of rear shoulder room. Is that roomy, or what? I have 45.3" of front legroom and 38" of rear legroom v. Frank's 41.5" and 36.8". What's more, my car is more than a foot shorter than my brother's 2003 Honda Civic, has 90 cu. ft of interior volume, and it's one of Frank's "half ton"s lighter than a Civic.

So, I'm driving a car that's a hundred pounds lighter, and 21" shorter than Frank's. It has ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control (which I can, of course, turn off). I'm averaging nearly 20 mpg better than Frank's Tempo. So tell me again how the nanny society's cars are burdened by excess weight, and needless safety features?
