I was not able to get closer than about 5' to the car, and the Tahoe interior was dark in a softly lit showroom. From what I could see, though, the third-row legroom was surprisingly good, and the second row looked easily adequate, with a good leg drop and maybe some good toe room under the front seats. I asked about the toe room, but with the black carpet it was too difficult to discern. The sales guy tried to illuminate it with his cell phone flashlight, but even that didn't suffice. He said he thought it was about 5" but was not sure how far the front seats were positioned fore/aft. (Even the sales people dared not get too near the car, saying it had cost $1.5MM to build. One sales guy offered to try to open the rear hatch and frunk, but he first had to wait for a regional exec who was on a call to get permission.)
Now . . . my visual observations:
I have always lusted after that Art Deco automotive
tour de force, the Stout Scarab. As soon as I rounded the front end of the Gravity and caught sight of its side profile, the Scarab jumped immediately to mind, with its blunt nose transitioning to a downward sweeping profile ending in a tucked tail. As
@AirDoll said, pictures don't do it justice. It is easily the most handsome SUV I've ever seen. As they did with the Air, the Lucid design team has managed to capture the essence of another great era of auto design in a thoroughly modern -- even futuristic -- form.
Take a look at the Scarab:

Now, at the Gravity. They may be almost a century apart, but the Scarab design DNA lives on in the Gravity:

The Scarab has been called the world's first minivan, and it was America's loss that its space utilization didn't catch on until the Germans came up with the VW bus. I mean, just look at that interior. Like no other car since, the Gravity has taken the space concept that aeronautical designer William Bushnell Stout pioneered in his groundbreaking car and turned it into a visual masterpiece for its era.

To those who catch me trying to push my way to the front of the ordering line, I ask now that you please excuse me.
