ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle is provided having an elongated body with a front and rear end aligned along a longitudinal axis, a right and left seat area, and a right and left entry opening defined in part by a right and left sill member. A pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels are pivotally attached to the body generally adjacent the front and rear ends thereof. The front and rear wheels have a tire contact width of TW.sub.F and TW.sub.R. The front tires having a front wheel track WT.sub.F and the rear tires having a rear wheel track WT.sub.R measured from center of tire contact to center of tire contact of the tires making up a pair. The front wheel track being greater than the rear wheel track so that WT.sub.R +TW.sub.R is less than WT.sub.F. This dimensional relationship enables the sill members to be generally rearwardly inclined relative to the body longitudinal axis to facilitate easy vehicle entry by an occupant.
