   How the hell did you get that? Pretty much the opposite of what I just said   
   above!   
   Just like speakers, car quality/performance/price has *NO* direct   
   relationship with size. However a 6'6" person might well take into   
   consideration leg room, and two identical wheelbase cars may still differ   
   greatly in front or rear legroom.   
   I guess you failed logical reasoning at school, and certainly never made the   
   debate club :-)
