The ramp does not seem to extend far beyond that so it should be okay. I now have an SUV that the tailgate extends up automatically and have had no problem.

It seems like mobility equipment in general is moving away from clunky, sterile and solely functional to embrace form and syle. This is huge. If everyone chose cars only for their functionality, we'd probably all be driving Priuses. The disability community should also have the opportunity to drive cars that match individual personalities. One troubling thing, though. The rear-entry system seems kind of dangerous. In a parking lot the ramp would descend right into the middle of the traffic lane. I wonder how people deal with that...
