Concerned about headroom between models

wow you guys are TALL.

I am 6'0" and find it pretty comfortable in my V70. One problem I have is that I like to sit close to the steering wheel, and that puts my head a bit closer to the windshield that the designers wanted I think.

Also I have the seat bottom raised high - because I'm so close to the wheel, I need the seat high or my legs would be bent up too much.

I wish the steering wheel would come out towards me a bit more, but I can't do much about that.

I think if the airbag ever deploys it will probably break my nose!

I had a 760 before this and I found the headroom to be a real problem also. I can only imagine what you two would think of it.
