One of the things I've come to really appreciate about our 2008 Scion xB is its low step-in height. I just step in over the short door sill and the xB floor is just right there. Consequently, there's no having to jump down from a high seat or having to scramble out of a low seat. Just so easy that I'd even go so far as to say it should be included on this top 10 list of vehicles for shorter drivers...
And it would probably also be useful for those with weak ankles, bad backs or acrophobia. I know I'm especially grateful for it when I'm wearing skirts and/or skyscraper-tall heels. Yikes.

On the flip side, I wonder what happens if you run over a log with this thing? Looks like you could get stuck under a variety of real life situations.

Run over a log?!
This would then also be a problem with non truck Porsches, Ferraris, Mercedes AMG sedan/coupe models, Nissan sports cars, my BMW 330i etc etc.
As long as we stay on road, we should be ok.
p.s my Wrangler would pass the log test ;)

"the gauges are still in the wrong place."
What makes you think that they'll move by themselves?
