But then again, you won't be buying this car to drive 3-4 people around (I hope). I think Toyota is doing it so if you absolutely have to give someone a ride, you can, and obviously to save $ on insurance. 2+2 is not nearly as bad as a 2 seater.

Hence why the tC's rear seats recline.

People that live in areas with snow might prefer an FR-S but would have to go with a tC if they couldn't afford a winter vehicle. etc etc... The short of it is in the real world there are too many variables.

Funny how that's not even true.
