Sure, but I don't want to fit four people in my car, comfortably or not :-)
To me this is the real problem: all the automakers are designing their cars to suit the same subset of the market. They probably use their focus groups (maybe the same group!) and so on, and discover that say 60% of the public wants to sit upright and carry four people, so they all build a car for that market, not realizing that they're all throwing away the other 40% of the market.
