That seat demo is hilarious. Struggle to get the display to pop out. When the seat rotates it stops hard, instead of slowing before it reaches the end of travel, which is OK on recline but not OK on rotate.

As a 6'2" large guy, on some cars I have to sit down on the sill plate of some cars, then put my head up into the car, and then sit down in the seat; then to fit in the car, I have to lower the seat so my head fits, but my knees are in my teeth. This is why SUVs and crossovers are so popular, at least you can sit upright.

That comes down to really bad interior design. I know this was not a problem in cars, even relatively small cars. until the late 1980s. My father, who is six-foot-six, could fit in his old 1969 Corvair without any issues, sitting up right and all. Unfortunately, to keep up those aesthetics, Car makers have pushed themselves into a corner where they have to build big tall cars, they call "CUVs", instead of building well designed, less bulky interiors. I do not disagree with you at all. I am not so tall, squarely averaging my father's and mother's heights, but I can tell you even if my head room is not impacted, I am still taken aback by how little rear legroom my car has compared to me previous car, and it all comes down to a seriously over-bulked up interior.

Hybrids are awesome in cities. Diesels are awesome on highways, longer routes.

I notice that cost is the favorite word from the seat design guy. And he's just symptomatic of the whole car industry in America. They only look at cost, not quality. People will pay for value, but if they think something looks cheap or is badly built because of "cost", then they will expect a bargain price. Which puts more pressure to design a cheaper product, and so the downward spiral continues. Until you end up with...people prefer foreign cars.
