If it's headroom he wants, then here's his car. Given the list
of cars he's tried, it may not fit his image, but it will fit
him with inches to spare:

2005 VW New Beetle
Front Head Room      41.3"
Max. Front Leg Room  39.4"
total                80.7"

Hey, at leasts it's German and in the family. For comparison:

2005 Audi A8
Front Head Room      38.9"
Max. Front Leg Room  41.3"
total                80.2"

2005 Porsche Cayenne
Front Head Room      39.6
Max. Front Leg Room  40.6
total                80.2

Maybach
Front Head Room      38.1
Max. Front Leg Room  41.3
total                79.4

Although they all have similar room overall, the NB wins with
more headroom.

Maybach, which came from <http://www.edmunds.com/>.
