Are you an actual "little person"? ;)

I guess it's all how one's body 'folds'. I've shrunk a fraction of an inch, so I'm now somewhere between 6'3" and 6'4". However, I 'sit tall' (have shorter legs) and don't have any 'fitment' issues re my Yaris.

Can a 6' tall dude feel like a little person on the inside?

No, my rational being that the Corolla is really not much larger and has more offerings and incentives. It seems like the two are fighting for the same share of customers. Why not shrink the Yaris so that it competes more with the A segment cars? That way Toyota has a small, urban commuter and then the Corolla or the Prius C as their standard compacts.
