telescoped the wheel out
dropped the wheel down to keep my shoulders from rising
put the seat back as far as I could and still reach
put the seat down on the front and back part that you sit on
I am 6'2" but the problem is i barely have a 31" inseam. I definitely have a longer then average torso which gives me the problem.
I called the dealer back today and they are willing to take the car back minus 200 for prep work and restocking. The only other issue is the Synergy Green car I am trading it in on has about 1k less in options. So I don't want to pay the 200 + the 1k in options I am losing. I am waiting to hear back what they are willing to do about that. Thanks for all of the input.

A custom fabricator can probably make custom seat rails that sit lower. My guess would be this would cost a couple hundred bucks or maybe more.
OR, an upholsterer could probably replace the bottom cushion and recover it with the same leather with something thinner.
Here's a couple of no-cost tips (from a tall guy...):
I find that I have scads of knee room because of the tall dash. This is great because you can move the seat UP towards the wheel slightly so you can still reach the wheel, but recline the seat back a little farther so your head doesn't rub. Make sure your knees are not hitting the dash, though.
Make sure you're not sitting on your wallet. Take it out of your pocket. Not only is it bad for your back (esp tall guys) but it will raise you up.
Static hair sits down when you apply water. On the way in to work, stop by the bathroom, wet your hands, and give your hair a quick sweep.
Or, gently rub a fabric softener sheet on the headliner. This will keep it from generating static when in close proximity to your hair.
^^^ This is also good for fabric seat guys if you get a static charge when getting out of the car. Gently wipe the seats down with a fabric softner sheet (unscented is good unless you want your car to smell like fresh laundry). Voila. No more nasty zap when you exit the vehicle.
