I'm at least a little taller than average, so I think I might have trouble with a CC or CLS - although from a styling standpoint they are very successful at what they do, and the market has responded positively. I also like visibility, so the chop top sedans would annoy me...I like my tall old style E class as it is easy to see out the windows. However, if on my upcoming trip to Germany I was upgraded to a CLS320 CDi as my rental, I wouldn't cry

I sat in a new Mazda6 and felt the same way - very cramped rear head room, and hard to get in, also (gotta duck your head else you bump it).
 
Form over function, big time.

I don't like the new 6 - the old one was a evry nice design, and it aged well...but the new one just seems too big and impractically low, as you say. Too much bloat in the Asian midsizers.

Saw one yesterday on the drive home
 
Was the driver showing signs of range anxiety?
 
Karl drove a MINI E the other day and tweeted a bunch about it. It's being added to the Edmunds long term fleet but hasn't made it to the long term fleet page yet.
 
It'll probably take a little while longer for it to hit the New Cars pages.

Some are even full-sizers now.

Ugh. You just touched on a nerve.
 
The site is called twitter, therefore the messages SHOULD be called twits and people are twittering.
 
And, yes, I am aware of what a twit is, and, frankly, I think it is quite appropriate for 99% of what can be found on twitter.
 
There! I've said it! It is off my chest!

Karl is on the live chat right now and pointed out that the MINI E is only going to be offered in 3 states and there's only going to be 500 of them made, at least initially. And the rollout for those 500 will probably take 18 months.
 
Don't look for the E to show up under the New Cars link anytime soon, in other words.
