I'm with you. Not everyone needs a 4-seater or more. I know I don't. Cut the frontal area and weight.

I've been thinking it'd be safer for a side-impact (T-bone), too, if the occupants were centered, further away from the doors.

I like turbo propane, too. But, I don't want the tank in the trunk again. It's easier and more assuring to have it completely separated from the passenger compartment.

Any more info on your plan?
