And the above complaints are why we get saddled with crossovers and honda fits when it comes to plebian money.
That is not hard to get into. First he's playing it up; second he's trying not to damage it because it's a mockup and not made of structural composites; and third, he's an out of shape upperclass knob more concerned with the creases in his overpriced chinos than actually getting in and out of the car.
Of course the point is moot, because the people who bought them have already decided they can "handle" it. I truly don't understand this obsession with "ingress/egress". I know a car does all the work for you once you're in it, but shouldn't that be enough that it's worth putting a tiny bit of effort into accessing it? Horseback riders do all the time.
people are so damn boring
The people who bought a car like this are at least Tim's size. And no, that demo car IS made of structural carbon. But who would want to stand on the seat of a 2 million dollar car. The people who have decided they can "handle" it will get in, drive around the neighborhood, and then garage it. Then they'll try to get a friend to sit in it as a passenger, and the "never make them touch" rules go out the window. Then they'll relegate it for the "special events" and drive their other supercars 99% of the time. 100% of the people who buy this are the ones concerned with creases in their chinos, or whether their lady friend's gonna expose herself to anybody watching the egress of this vehicle.
For a horse, you don't have a choice if that's the sport/activity you want to do. For a car, you do. Most will choose ease of access over not.
McLaren changed the design of their chassis to address this. That's a FAR more common car than this, showing just how common this mindset is. Now, when your ladyfriend with heels asks if they can come along, you just say hell no.
