Why are SUV's so SMALL inside but so big OUTSIDE?
Anyone notice the standard SUV's like BMW, AUDI, Infinity, and many other have such small occupant and storage space. WHY make a car that big with so little room inside the cabins!!
Im tired of this!!!!

because people that drive big suv's are small people that cant drive, look at daly city, san bruno, and sunnyvale. they need to make sure they can crash them into pople all the time and not get hurt themself

Not everyone is 6'6"
Not all SUV's are the same. There are so many sub levels of SUV not it's crazy. Compact, Small, Mid, Full, Gihugic.... etc.
Generally speaking... the *** ones are more roomy on the inside. Go figure.

I keep thinking back to the top gear test of the H1. I think Clarkson said something like there is so much space between each person that they have their own postal code. Crappy joke, but it's Clarkson. lol

I was driving a Panamera the other day and it's the same. Huge(for a porsche) on the outside, but if you have legs you won't fit in the backseat on the inside. I've been in some compacts that have more room.
This tends to be a german thing. Like always, the cars are over-engineered and leaves less space for the people inside.
