I'd actually preferr more interior space. I refuse to ever buy a "Smart" car because there is zero cargo space (not even for groceries!).

You're actually talking about designing a car for a niche market. Not everybody puts MPGs above all else! He's looking for something that can appeal to a broader audience. If this could be redesigned with smooth teardrop fairings over a pair of rear wheels, it might be something that even I'd be interested in driving.
