I don't really care for him as a human being, just rubs me the wrong way (not literally LOL) like maybe he was a jock in high school or something? I dunno, maybe he's trying "too hard" to be a character on camera or something. Maybe that's it he seems less natural than other reviewers. I watch some of his vids here and there but skip through the start and end for sure.

I saw another video review showing that the headroom was very tight - like nearly hitting your head even for an average height person with the seat all the way down. This video seems to confirm it.

That's one odd looking vehicle.

That guy in video is 6 foot tall with long torso. Not the average plebs.

LOL. This guy is enormous compare to the first guy. You can't accurately judge a person's height from a video. I watched plenty of Raiti's rides videos. Joe normally says something about the head room. I book marked the exact time he talks about it in the video:

Enormous? That guy looks stocky and below average height to me but ok. Notice that Joe did not close the door which seemed to be what the reviewer from my video was banging his head against. Perhaps this issue was due to it being a pre-production model. We will have to check for ourselves. I am actually interested in the vehicle but will for sure verify the head room when I test drive.

I'm glad you guys mentioned that macho straddle. I can't stand it. He has to spread his legs for every thumbnail and strain so hard, he loses yesterday's lunch. I also hate the thing when they walk towards the camera slowly while explaining "tHe HiStOrY" of the vehicle being reviewed.
I'd do my best to look hunched over and wimpy. LOL

Also the thing about the crown that kinda irks me, despite the rest of the car being nice, is the side, and those little cladding triangles on the doors. The reason they have those is because there's too much damn slab on the side so it's needed for a visual breakup. otherwise you end up looking like a minivan. it's a visual trick they do when they want to make big cars look small/sporty or when they want to hide their minivanness. i'd really prefer to not have such cladding.
