At 6'6" I imagine you have this problem with other "sports type" cars, no?

I believe the Solstice will accommodate a taller person than the XF will. My problem with the Solstice is the wrinkly top. Just plain pitiful!
I know I have tons of leg room in my Vette also. If you are eleven feet tall buy a Vette plain and simple.

if i were any taller... and the seat back had to be near vertical... this would not be acceptable to me personally.

Re: Stupid MB designers
I'm 6'-5" and have plenty of leg room in my automatic roadster. Head room is tight. I have the seat all of the way down & back. My first experience was sitting in an SRT coupe with the 6 speed manual. It was brand new and sitting on the lot of my local 5-star. It didn't have enough head room for me to be comfortable and using the clutch was bad. It was a very sad experience. About six weeks later I traveled across the state to see a roadster with the automatic. I fell in love the car but decided that black was too high maintenance. Then I found my SSB on the net. Made a deposit and took a three hour trip in my brother's Sky to pick it up. I am still in love.
Re: Stupid MB designers
Who will fit is going to be a function of overall height -AND- body ratio... someone who has a long torso will be more constrained by the distance from the top of the seat cushion to the headliner. Someone with long legs will be looking for a place to stash their feet and may find (as did a 6'4" friend of mine with long legs) that there's plenty of room under the clutch and accelerator pedals!
