But modern beltlines are too damn high.

Seriously. I have started shopping for a newish car to replace my 2004 Sentra and you cannot see a damn thing out of some of these cars with those high beltlines.

Agreed, I'm sure its for crash safety regs.

Sounds like you need a Saab wagon.

it's stringent side-impact standards combined with Europe requiring a set amount of empty space between the engine and the underside of the hood (for pedestrian collision safety), which in turn raises everything behind the front wheels.

What are you going at with that picture? Both car's belt lines are the same height.

Yeah but when you crash because of it you'll survive

Neither one has a flat belt line; they both angle up rather significantly. The fact that the front of the Suburban lines up shows how much they've risen.
