I'll be that guy.

If you bought a twin because you needed something to take your kid around in. You bought the wrong car period.
If you are a soccer dad, be a soccer dad. Don't turn your nose up at a sports car because you can't fit your kid in it.

You are absolutely right. People looking to spend 50k on a car, probably didn't cross shop with a 25-30k car. Definitely not for a family car.

The ONLY reason the twins have a back seat is for insurance purposes. Because of the target market, insurance costs needed to be low.

However; people shopping for a sports car. Did cross shop the twin with many other sports car. Potentially ones that were beyond the 50k price tag.

Those guys wanted a track car, a weekend toy. Granted a twin doesn't have the performance #s of those more expensive cars, but the driving feel is there w/o the 50K+ price tag.
