There is no reason that the rear axle could not have a much narrower track and be farther back in the tail.

Towing is effectively out - the hitch would need to be far forward under the tail, leading to long booms to get to the hitch. Clearance would become an issue. Putting the hitch at the aft end of the tail is completely out, the moment arm during swaying would seriously upset vehicle stability.

How many people really tow with their car?
I think Frank hit it best Gas is cheap and people do not really car about MPG. Look at how many drive around in big SUV's and trucks everyday.
People buy what they think looks good. Get enough scifi movies to have them in and maybe people will think they are cool.
