Our 14 yo gets the passenger seat and had to move it forward putting her in an uncomfortable position to give my wife enough room to sit behind her. An extra 2” of room in the back is not going to help. Having only 2 doors is not going to make it easy to get children out of a car seat from the back either.
I really don’t see a need/market for a small RWD station wagon, sorry shooting brake, version of our car. I just hope Subaru doesn't try to do to the BRZ that BMW is doing with the MINI Cooper; a version for almost every demographic.

I have to think you need to take a different car out if you are all uncomfortable. The rear seat in a BRZ is there for the insurance and maybe for an emergency it was never designed for 4 adults.
Personally, I wouldn't put anyone in the rear seat of either the BRZ or this concept except in an emergency. The market might be just because that there isn't a small RWD 3 door hatch offered in the US. let alone an AWD one if they could do that.
