Raza, conversion vans really do have that amount of space, no matter where you put the seat. They are massive vehicles that are more space-efficient than comparably-sized SUVs, leading to incredible interior space.

I know, but he's looking at a picture and saying that the W140 doesn't have a lot of space, and I grew up in the back of a W140.  I know there's more space than most people need.
