I agree with KITT222 that you get more interior volume with taller cars, but I don't like the "tall" proportions of today's cars. One of the reasons I liked the 1st-Gen Pontiac Vibe was that you could get it with an unpainted lower section. For me that made it appear as if the Vibe wasn't as tall as it was, and got away from that "wash of metal" I like to complain about.

But I like what Frank said even more, that the aero benefits too.
