Frank,

I got to sit in a new Solstice recently, and was even able to play with
it's top. I'm 6'4" and I found the entrance and egress much easier than
my Fiero or even my Corvair. Headroom is even good, and I didn't feel
cramped either. But then I've also finally dropped my weight to under
200#. Maybe your bucket doesn't fit its bucket. LOL

On the subject of salesmen, I also found that most are usually less
informed than me! (G)
