Chevrolet made some interesting choices when it introduced the Camaro. The base model had an interior more worthy of a taxi cab, especially the steering wheel, to ensure buyers would more likely check of the Custom Interior package. But where the Camaro really deviated from the Mustang interior formula was with its column shifter for the Powerglide automatic, and an available “Strato-Back” bench front seat. Why? Did you have to ask?

In Europe we have a car with 3 bucket seats in the first row: The Honda FRV http://www.google.es/images?hl=es&q=%22Honda+FRV%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=TRHOS_XnNImYmAPJw7kT&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CB8QsAQwAw ...for sex we have the rear seat. It is "usable" for this purpose even in a small econobox like the Peugeot 205 (yes, I know), because you can pull forward all the way the 2 aft seats. Et voilá!. Limousine-grade space in a humble 205. But -frankly- with the benefit of hindsight I concluded that if you are not on the mood to pay for a hotel room to spend a night with her, maybe you are not having sex with the correct lady. My 2 EuroCents. "A man and woman sitting snuggled up next to each other on a bench seat in a pick-up truck have more personal contact than the couple strapped down in the low bucket seats of any Italian sports cars." Sure, and they also can get more "personal contact" with their heads against the windshield in case of a crash. Cars are not bedrooms, love motels of romantic places. Cars are dangerous machines. Treat them with respect and have your mortal body "strapped" to the car all times.

I believe I may name my first born "Strato."

SCE to AUX My son cross-shopped the RAV4 and Model Y, then bought the Y. To their surprise, they hated the RAV4.
SCE to AUX I'm already driving the cheap EV (19 Ioniq EV).$30k MSRP in late 2018, $23k after subsidy at lease (no tax hassle)$549/year insurance$40 in electricity to drive 1000 miles/month66k miles, no range lossAffordable 16" tiresVirtually no maintenance expensesHyundai (for example) has dramatically cut prices on their EVs, so you can get a 361-mile Ioniq 6 in the high 30s right now.But ask me if I'd go to the Subaru brand if one was affordable, and the answer is no.
David Murilee Martin, These Toyota Vans were absolute garbage. As the labor even basic service cost 400% as much as servicing a VW Vanagon or American minivan. A skilled Toyota tech would take about 2.5 hours just to change the air cleaner. Also they also broke often, as they overheated and warped the engine and boiled the automatic transmission...
Marcr My wife and I mostly work from home (or use public transit), the kid is grown, and we no longer do road trips of more than 150 miles or so. Our one car mostly gets used for local errands and the occasional airport pickup. The first non-Tesla, non-Mini, non-Fiat, non-Kia/Hyundai, non-GM (I do have my biases) small fun-to-drive hatchback EV with 200+ mile range, instrument display behind the wheel where it belongs and actual knobs for oft-used functions for under $35K will get our money. What we really want is a proper 21st century equivalent of the original Honda Civic. The Volvo EX30 is close and may end up being the compromise choice.
Mebgardner I test drove a 2023 2.5 Rav4 last year. I passed on it because it was a very noisy interior, and handled poorly on uneven pavement (filled potholes), which Tucson has many. Very little acoustic padding mean you talk loudly above 55 mph. The forums were also talking about how the roof leaks from not properly sealed roof rack holes, and door windows leaking into the lower door interior. I did not stick around to find out if all that was true. No talk about engine troubles though, this is new info to me.
