If the S-FR is indeed based off the Miata chassis, I can see how in the photo above they made room for the +2 rear seats. The width of the dash shelf is quite a bit shorter (maybe 4-6 inches) than on the Miata (look at the distance from the center vent from the base of the windshield). Ditch the folding top mechanism and storage area and there's another 6-8 inches. So you have a good food of length that can be used for what is essentially an emergency seat under a tall hatch. This could definitely work.

Maybe the world will finally get its Miata coupe after all.
