i just noticed that as the test-chick stood next to the car, the top of the roofline seemed to be at about shoulder/chest level... how tall's the 8 again?? 5*''??

 

im not sure but i think its 53 inches. so if the top of car is 4 ft 5 in then it wont do much good to know how much room she has cause shes pretty short.

 

yeah, jonny b is right... mazda confirms that (so far)... just to give some reference, the accord is 57.1 inches high, camry's 58.3 inches, g35 is 57.7 inches, the mx-6 is 51.6 inches. so anyway, that means she's about 5' 3" to 5' 5"... as I guestimated the first time.

anyway, i hope i didn't offend anyone about asians being short... i am asian myself and stand at 5'9". my brother and sister are at 5'10" each (but we were grain-fed, amercian born.) anyway, having been in Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong in the past few years, I realized that my family is pretty monstrous in a crowd of asians... maybe not the tallest, but as far as height and girth (not weight), we were definitely not natives.
