Wheelbase------------ 130"----------- 133"
Overall length--------- 225.0"--------- 228.5"
so that is a 3.25 meter wheelbase, and that was all the legroom they could get???? (never mind that other US brands had the same problems...)
and on top of that seating six on such benches with little or none lateral support can hardly be called comfortable... (unless of course you are looking for close contact with your fellow passengers)
I would see four people with a large central armrest would be a more pleasant configuration...
