Considering "the template" and your interior space/seating goals, would a rear engine have been better for creating space in the forward areas, where "the template" shape provides more of an interior void. An engine could more readily fit in the aft, narrower area. I have to imagine you have thought of this and that there are design, construction, or marketing factors counting against it that I'm not fully aware of. What are they?
