Eh, I think there's some very valuable practicality added by allowing for the space back there, a full set of tires in the back, enough tools to disassemble the car and put it back together, roadtrips for 2 (I've done 3 people from SoCal to NorCal, ~7 hours on the road) and four adults is not an impossibility for me.

There's a reason Toyobaru sold 60k+ of these things and Mazda didn't see a 60k increase in Miata sales (actually <17k over the same period).
