Keep in mind as a prototype, this is basically a VW advertisement
Producing a car with tandem seating strays too far from the basic car nomenclature.
The offset seating is a great compromise, and most single travelers take advantage of the spare seat as storage; much less convenient in a tandem array.

Tandem requires height whereas the norm requires width
Tandem sacrifices drive-ability, especially with a passenger as any motorcyclist will know. If the wheels have to be wide, might as well put the seats wide anyhow.


Many others have tried to produce a tandem or single seat vehicle and have all failed so clearly there is not a viable market. In the end its basically just a covered motorcycle...
