Post Rear seat leg room is too small

I have complained about this before, but I thought I would share. The RL's leg room is only .4 (POINT FOUR) inches larger than the TL's. What the Hell is that!?!
OK. Ilove my TL, but I want more room. The RL is a larger car, with a less powerful engine, and it has the same capacities!?! What are they thinking? I hope the next RL is larger inside, AND more powerful.

You are right, but I almost never have more than 1 passenger in my car at a time so I'm not worried...for now at least.

4 people isn't totally uncomfortable if the front 2 people don't have their seat pushed too far back. I ride with 3 or 4 people in the car pretty often and they haven't complained yet.

I think TL's rear passanger room IS too small. We are 6 footer family, so when ever we have family trips, 3 people suffers.

I think you guys are spoiled.

I think the back of the TL has ample room. In fact, two of my friends were back there the other night and were commenting how comfortable it was.

I'm 6'2", 180 and my knees tuck under the curl of the front seat just right. I could sleep back there. Although, my last car was a Geo Storm, so I feel like I'm sitting in a cathedral in my TL sometimes. ;-)

Other cars have more rear seat room, but the size of the car is a lot bigger too.

Also, if you don't usually have more than 2 people in your car, why didn't you get a CL?

Yep, TL back seat could be bigger. For some strange reason an Accord seems roomier in back by a slight margin, although the TL rides on a stretched Accord platform.

Someone above said that the RL was less powerful than the TL?!?

Well, the Accord have more rear legroom...

But I think we got enough space back there. No body have complainted about the space on my car... Well, most of my friends drives a IS300, BMW E36, E46 (last & current gen. 3-series)...Golf, Jetta, or Subaru...etc. Those cars are smaller... Damn my car is the largest in size amount all my friends. Everytime the girl just hop on my ride, dispite there are a lot more "expensive" cars... (hahahaha....)

So, I guess you people shouldn't complaint so much. Damn the space is one of the reason why I buy it.

But of course I am getting a fun car for the weekends and the summers...
