Have you ever sat in the back seat of your car?
We took a couple to dinner a few nights ago and they remarked as to how much rear seat leg room that the rear seat has. When we got home I asked my wife to drive around some while I rode in the back. I must confess that I had never done that! Very comfortable. Now I know why when we are with other couples that they always want to take our car...I'm a friggin chaufer!! It is nice to receive compliments.

I have of course, not in quite a while though.
I think there's actually too much leg room in the back, especially for a person like me where I rarely have adults in the back. And the seats in the back feel somewhat more comfortable than the front seats.

Sounds like you need a CL. Tons of room in the front--seat goes back far enough to break legs for those in the back.

I know about the 8L and you are right. I was talking to my brother about this and we were remembering that back in the '60's our parents had a '67 Caprice 4 door with a 396 that I think might have been bigger that the W220 back seat. I remember going to my Sr prom in that car and I could lay all the way across that back seat an I was 6'2" at the time!! There was lots of room for fun in those old American cars.
